There are good weeks and bad weeks when you work at a newspaper, much like every job I'm sure. This has been a CRAZY week! Laying out a newspaper, and various special sections, becomes quite challenging this time of year. With Kansas State and KU in the NCAA Tournament, things are hopping. And it will only get worse as either one or both of the teams keep winning. Of course, in my heart I want both teams to go as far as possible, but in my "work" heart I could care less if they both lose. DON'T SHOOT ME! On top of all that craziness, this week has been one of major upheaval on our floor. They've been moving the advertising department completely out of the other side of the hall - the lucky department is getting new carpet and furniture. People, furniture, copy machines, fax machines, printers, and boxes full of "stuff" are stacked everywhere. It's pretty much a maze getting around on my side of the hall. I think it will be a few weeks before everything is back to normal.Just talked to my sister. She is doing a good job of controlling her blood sugar and seems much "perkier" than she's been in a long time. She still has home health care coming every day to change the dressing on her toe, and she also has physical therapy coming 3 times a week. She's hoping to go back to work in the next couple of weeks.
My musical choice at work late this afternoon (while paginating our weekend classified sections) was Michael W. Smith. I needed something a bit soothing...look at him, isn't he soothing?
Today's quote is from the late actor Christopher Reeve: "So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable."
