What I'm up to lately...
Jul. 1st, 2006 02:59 pmSpent last weekend at Twin Cities Pride and worked the Outfront (MN GLBT lobbying organization) booth with my beloved. We gathered a lot of postcard signatures for a mass mailing to the new reps post election and registered a few folks to vote. Our fabulous Morris dancing friends stopped by to entertain us and we had a generally jolly time.
Then it was off around the park to hang out with our swell friend Matt and get very sunburned. All in all, a successful Pride, Minneapolis style.
The rest of the week was spent at Evil-Corporate-Employer-of-the-Moment, which shall go unnamed. I'm seeing heavy overtime looming on the horizon due, as is so often the case, to staggerly inept management. Why do people who don't know what they're doing consistently get drawn to IT management positions? Oh well. No one's actively kicking me there and I'm not sitting in a broken chair which is killing my back (unlike the last place where contractor scum must be punished merely for being) so there are definite improvements.
Also had a pleasant barbeque with new next door neighbors. Found we had an uncanny number of things in common with them, had a great time and are looking forward to doing it again.
This weekend, my very cool college buddy Mark and his beloved are in town visiting. Today we confirmed that the newly expanded Walker Art Museum is every bit as overrated as I thought it was the last time we went through. :-)
Tomorrow, we're hoping to go and critique a few other things around town, and of course, eat a lot.
Weekly work log: one finished blurb for "Hard Road, Easy RIding," one finished column for ERWA, one completed short story for new collection and bits and pieces of work on other things.
