Temperatures are drifting north of 100 degrees F, making it very unpleasant to venture into the garage where temperatures are amplified. We spent several hours at the office today, but left sometime after noon to have lunch. My wife couldn't sleep last night (she only got about 3 hours rest), so when we got home she quickly went about preparing for her nap.
I've been occupying myself with silliness of various kinds, taking this last chance for a couple of weekends to avoid work when I can.
The next two weekends will be dedicated to clients. Next weekend I'll be in Pittsburgh (Thursday through Sunday) and then I'll be a client meetings the following weekend here in town. At least I'll be able to sleep in my own bed during the latter event.
I've been busily preparing for our office move. I have a moving company stopping by on Monday to give us a quote. On the same day, I have 3-4 telephone companies dropping in to gather data to quote on new service when we move. We have 11 voice lines and a partial T-1 (whatever's not in use for phone lines) for Internet access. It's horrifically expensive to have all these lines, but that's life. I dread this next week's meeting. I'm afraid I cannot hope for changing a client's mind about reducing the management fee it's paying; it just doesn't have the money any longer. I keep thinking of the impact that will have on us; layoffs and salary cuts. It's never the right time for such things, but this is worse than most.
I'm feeling worn out today. Maybe a little nap is in the cards for me, too.
