...it's the impression that I get... I have a meeting in the morning that I can guarantee you I am the only person scheduled to be in attendance who is nervous. It's a RIVOAD Steering Committee meeting: essentially the Steering Committee plans the direction for the RIVOAD that I am playing an important role in helping establish. It's just that the more I get into it the more work I feel like needs to be done, and I am hesitant to bring to the table all the work and ideas I have that needs addressed. I'm anxious as to how some of my ideas will be received. As I try and define myself to these people, I'm anxious as to how I come off. The thing is, from conversations I've had and the tone of some of those I've talked to, I feel as if by far I am taking it all more serious than the others involved; this I can only imagine is because everyone else has much, much more on their plate than I do. These are some pretty important (locally) people that are in these rooms. At least, you know compared to me. This doesn't have to be a restless night, but I feel it might turn out to be one.

On a completely unrelated issue, the static electricity here in RI is WICKED! I can't put on a shirt--granted I wear a lot of fleece including my jacket--without having the crap shocked out of me. Literally, in some cases. It's disturbing.
ALSO The US womens curling team is officially out now. It seems like just last week when it all started...oh wait...well, even still. I for one enjoyed watching them play all last week when I got home from work. Made my week interesting. On the up side, I can look forward to it again in four years. See ya' in 2010 girls.  ¶ 2/20/2006 07:59:00 PM
