Evie Day 123
Good morning! It is the beginning of a new week, and today is 17 July 2023.
I’ve got some work to get to here in a bit.
One of the bits I do for work is a brief daily recap of a change or two to our cloud platform. It’s a shared responsibility, but one of the guys that leads our team is under the weather (more than a little under the weather, but that’s not something we need to share out of respect for his privacy), so I’m trying to pick up a little of the slack, picking up a couple of extra sessions. I probably should have recorded them yesterday, but I have some time this morning to get the sessions in the can.
Of course, the moment I say that or write it down, unforeseen events will reveal themselves and add some complication to my day, right?
I’m watching the news. Looks like the weekend weather messed with some travel, as well as caused some destruction across the country. I was sitting here Friday afternoon when the storm rolled through, and it was nasty looking. I fired up the weather radar, and it looked like Lawrence was going to be directly in the path of nasty storms – it was shaped like a boot sitting sideways – and all of the worst weather was coming directly into Lawrence. The winds peaked around 80 miles per hour, and the rain came in sideways. Fortunately, we didn’t have any funnel clouds with it, just a lot of high-speed winds. Lisa told me that her group on campus was directed to the storm shelter, away from all of the windows. My son was working in an IT lab surrounded by glass (it’s called the ‘fish bowl’), and they were told to get out of three as well.
OK…
I’ve got to get focused on the day ahead of me. I’ve got sessions to record, and a day of internal training with my team. I’ll have to see if I can effectively multitask at times today… not my strongest suite.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
