Growing Pains
I gave up boys this weekend for some fun with the girls. And work--lots and lots of work. Work that I shouldn't have to be doing but--lo and behold--I'm stuck doing because my Big Idea partner/consultant has disappeared. I have never been so close to firing someone before*, and the temptation is growing with every moment that passes.
So it's nearly 1 a.m. and I'm finally finished with my Big Idea work for the evening, having taken off a couple hours to see the Maryland vs. Duke game with Ms. ADA and friends. My workshop for tomorrow is ready to go, and I'm *almost* prepared for my business trip on Tuesday. Yes, dear reader, I'm headed off to Cleveland. Just feel the excitement wafting off the Wikipedia description:
Cleveland is the county seat of Cuyahoga County, the most populous county in the U.S. state of Ohio. The municipality is located in northeastern Ohio on the southern shore of Lake Erie, approximately 60 miles (100 km) west of the Pennsylvania border. It was founded in 1796 near the mouth of the Cuyahoga River, and became a manufacturing center owing to its location at the head of numerous canals and railroad lines. With the decline of heavy manufacturing, Cleveland's businesses have diversified into the service economy, including the financial services, insurance, and healthcare sectors.
Anyway, it's just an overnight trip, but I'm excited to have this project over and done with (see first paragraph for reason why). At that point, I'll have time to freak out about all other Big Idea projects waiting in the wings.
* Probably because I've never had the authority to fire someone before.

Oh! If you take transit while you're there, I really will have you over and cook dinner. And not like last time, when I just promised you dinner and then never came through. Actual, re-hydrated pasta and warmed sauce and everything! But you have to take transit. And bring a stub.
