Birthing Class, Day 2

Not much of anything to rabble about today to be honest. It's the middle of the week already and the days are no different than they started out on Monday - jam packed and flying by. There is a lot of "noise" in the air as well around the studio, in part because of all the looming changes that are staring to happen as well as those assumptions people have of those that could happen.

You get a few people together and the next thing you know theories are flying and outcomes are assumed based on the trends they are seeing day to day. Most times, this is wasted effort though and the speculation does nothing but get everyone stressed out or down in the dumps for a couple days. Not worth it peeps, just wait and see what tomorrow brings and stop trying to assume what it will bring. Being prepared is one thing, just don't overdue it to the point that it becomes idle chatter.

First Class

So as I mentioned yesterday my first class up at the university for my extended studies was cancelled due to a death in the professors family. I guess they were going to try and hold the class still but decided it was best to wait until he had time to recover and do the class at a later date. No biggie, it will be held again in June I think so I will just have to take it then.

Don't make any assumptions because of my casual "OK" with it all. I actually wanted to get this class out of the way and was thankful it was one of the first to be taken. Oh well, I guess they could not find someone to substitute for the class or something. Kinda odd to me seeing how you have an entire university of resources that they could not find someone to fill-in a 2 day class, but it is what it is. On with life and the next class in February I suppose.

Birthing Class

Tonight we have our second of 5 child birthing classes. I am not sure what is on the agenda for this week but I am sure it will be interesting and worthwhile just as it was last week. Next week will be cool because we get to go over to Renown and walk around in the post labor area and learn about all the features, find out where things are located as well as get the full tour of the nursery and related. This way when the time comes for us to have baby, well Cicely to have baby, I will be prepared while she is resting and we will both be more than prepared when we show up the day of the big event!

Work

Tomorrow is the big "all hands meeting" that I have been quietly anticipating as well as dreading a little bit - mostly out of nervousness. My studio director will be announcing the changes to our studio, cubes be moved and people being shuffled as well as the reveal to everyone that does not already know because of chatter throughout that I will be the new manager of our group on the south side. I am confident that the vast majority of people will support me, some will be bummed because they like working with me and I do with them as well on games but it's time to cut the cord and try some other things in my career. I actually really like the idea of managing and most of the things that come along with the responsibility, I just have a lot to learn and that will take time. More on that tomorrow at some point I am sure.

Camel Day

Unless I have an update later tonight after our child birthing class I think that will have to do it for today's entry. I should not be typing much anyhow, my shoulders and neck are hella cramped up from a combination of working out, sleeping wrong and trying to crack my neck and shoulders the other day from being tensed up sitting in uncomfortable chairs all day. No matter, it's the middle of the week, camel day, so "on with the show!".
