Busy Busy Busy.... Again

Well, it's been a busy few weeks. I've had Softball playoffs, a wedding to attend, and work has been crazy for me. So, I'll touch on each quickly to give you an idea of what I've been up to.

Softball play offs started this week. We have 3 games, and must win 2 of 3 to make the semi-finals. Well, sadly we lost our first 2 games, so we now have no chance of making the semi-final, however we still plan to play our final game and try to end the season on a winning note. Personally I felt we were very capable of winning our first 2 games, however when only a small portion of the team gives it their all rather than the entire team, a loss is usual a sure thing. Well, hopefully next year will be different.

Next, the wedding. My g/f's cousin got married last weekend. It was a simply elegant wedding, and a simple and enjoyable reception. No real crazy wedding stories unfortunately. Now that I think about it, it was kind of boring. The highlight was the wedding cake toppers. The bride and groom were Han Solo and Princess Leia from Star Wars. I, as most of you know, being a Star Wars fan, thought this was wonderful, the majority of the other wedding guests, not so much.

Lastly, the craziness of work. For the past two weeks I've been involved in a project that had me supervising a small team, and helping other supervisors with their teams. So needless to say I haven't had a lot of free time at work. Most days I've been lucky to have time to sit down for 15 minutes and eat my lunch. I was supposed to be doing this until the end of the week, however I did such a good job, apparently, that the team no longer needs me and are just under the watchful eye of another supervisor for the basics (breaks, lunches, etc) The hard part, I've already taken care of and they no longer need someone supervising them. So in a way, kudos to me for a good job, but also kind of crappy that I have to go back to my normal role so quickly. Ah well, that's the way it goes I suppose.

Anyway, that's been my life for the past few weeks, and it's not going to slow up anytime soon I don't think, hopefully it's all worth it and I didn't run myself ragged for nothing.

What a Week!

Well, if you're wondering why I haven't made a post in the past week or so, and haven't been online or on facebook much, that's simple. I was a temp-supervisor while my supervisor was away on business. So basically for 4 days I was a supervisor. It was both a test of my abilities as much as it was my supervisor trusting me to look after things while he was gone.

I got to do the majority of the things a full-time supervisor would have to do on daily basis. I didn't get to go to special meetings, new hire interviews and wasn't given administrative access to the servers, but oh well, for being a temp, I got to do more than I could have expected or hoped for.

My supervisor is back today and he told me that he heard very good things from the other supervisors and that the site director said I did a great job. So I'm guessing I turned some heads, and have done myself a good service in getting that kind of position in the future. I really enjoyed the experience and look forward to doing it again for another supervisor if they take a leave of absence, go on vacation or whatever. If not, a full promotion would be nice too ;)

Anyway, other than that, I haven't done much and nothing all that exciting happened. The weather was supposed to get nasty here last week and we got lucky and it missed us by a few hundred kilometers. I had considered seeing The Simpson's Movie, but decided against it due to the large number of people at the movie theatres this past weekend. So that's all for me. Hope you all had an enjoyable week. :)
