As it turns out, asking me to be here at 7 a.m. was a bit of overkill. It’s kind of fun like Christmas, in that everyone is dressed real nice, and there’s lots of food to eat.<\/p>\n
I’m sitting at my team’s “support staff” desk, and I’ve been told that there probably won’t be many calls today.<\/p>\n
This means that I can blog about the ASM in real time. Except I can’t see a thing from here, as the meeting takes place downstairs. Actually, this seat provides me with something I don’t usually see – if I crane my neck, I can SEE the OUTSIDE. In fact, it’s on rainy days that I lament not being anywhere near a window. I love rainy days (although I will admit that I’m usually more of an inside cat in this weather) and I love that I get to see the sky color, and the weight of the rain – in this case, on trees with tiny buds.<\/p>\n
Blah blah blah – the point is, Donnie, that I’m going to be sitting here for the next several hours, and I am determined to enjoy this erratic day.<\/p>\n
That will be all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
