Today was my long day

Essentially today was a test of what my new schedule will be like at its worst. I will be the manager of a small banking center about a half hour north of my home. I was in at work at 7:40 am, I had an offsite meeting, a conference call, and I left right around five.

Getting home at around 5:40 I grabbed a quick bite to eat and turned around to head down to city hall. As the chairman of my local planning board I usually try to meet the staff about a half hour before our meeting starts. Thankfully, we had a relatively short meeting and I was home by ten.

Including my commute it works out to a 15 hour day and I got no school work done. Work was very productive and we had a better than average planning board meeting. As for the school work I am pretty good at time management so I will catch up later in the week. It goes more smoothly if a just acknowledge at 6 am I am not going to get any schoolwork today rather than being irritated and trying to squeeze it in somewhere. The nice part with the University of Phoenix is that classes are asynchronous, meaning that the assignments are due at the end of the week so one doesn't have to log in at any particular time. When I get up tomorrow at five-ish I can work on it.

I like listening to baseball to unwind. Joel Zumaya pitched well in relief to keep it close and Brennan Boesch just hit a nice home run to tie the game for the Tigers in the top of the ninth. I listen to radio broadcasts of baseball games on my computer. Sappy, but it reminds me a bit of summers in my childhood. Today I am listening to the Tigers at the Minnesota Twins. Relaxing after a long day.
