3 things: work, church, books
Jan. 7th, 2019 08:02 pm1. I did some more apartment inspections today. So far this building has not had any cigarettes, bongs, or housekeeping disasters, but there were three people who left their windows open (WHY), so that was a thing. I will hit the remaining two floors on Thursday.
In my other hours, I processed some sublet forms, sent some "you are late on your rent payment" notices, and uploaded a whole bunch of apartment photographs to our Shutterfly account. So boring.
2. This evening was the Stewardship team's first meeting for the 2019 pledge drive. We are attempting to be more organized this year, with actual minutes and agendas. We also hope that we can scrape a bit of silver lining from our unfortunate change in congregational administrators and push through some useful and necessary changes to the website (and maybe also to inter-committee organization in general) that sort of died in process in previous years because the old administrator knew everything and everyone and did a lot of stuff in his head. We want to automate some of that stuff, because reasons.
Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday the 21st. I may be able to get off work early again, but if not, I may try attending via Zoom from the rental office (and stepping away/hitting mute whenever I get interrupted by job stuff). We'll see how it goes. (In my ideal world, we'd meet on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings, but Mondays turned out to be the only feasible day for our new co-chair. So it goes. I figure installing and operating Zoom can't be any more aggravating than dealing with Skype or the Not the IRS web course program.)
3. I continue to plow through the Books of the Raksura. I finished The Siren Depths on Sunday and jumped directly into The Edge of Worlds, since that was the only other volume my library system has as an ebook. However, I placed a hold request for Stories of the Raksura vols. I and II on Saturday, along with The Harbors of the Sun, and that came in today so I now have hard copies of those in my possession as well. I am now debating whether to finish The Edge of Worlds first, since I'm already 1/3 into it, or whether to backtrack and read the two Stories volumes before continuing with the novels.
Anyone want to weigh in?
