This week started out with me getting an opportunity at work to use a skill that I’ve not utilized in a long time: video editing. We had some onsite meetings later in the week, and my team members asked me to assist in editing two “hype” videos for upcoming product launches. So of course, I obliged! That took up most of my time Monday, and a bit of Wednesday.
Tuesday (the odd-day out in the above paragraph) was our department offsite, so instead of heading to the office I instead headed to nearby Bloomington for some team building activities, and of course, tasty food! (No, no pictures of it this time.) I was ostensibly on the team helping to prepare for and set up the offsite as well, but with everything else going on, my assistance narrowed down to transporting and setting up the tech for our over-lunch presentation from our department head. Overall it was a great day!
Wednesday was back in-office in the morning, finishing the second video. I headed home around lunch then, as I saw some bad weather approaching and decided I’d rather take calls from home rather than potentially having to sit out a storm in a restroom. Thankfully, none of the tornadoes touched down where I live (or at work), though there were at least three in our county!
I rounded out the week (Thursday/Friday) with mostly normal work in the office: a handful of meetings, and catching up on emails, messages, etc.
Saturday began a heatwave (well, at least what I’m calling a heatwave… low to mid 90s F) here in Illinois, and so my mowing happened much earlier than normal.
For most of Saturday afternoon I worked on scanning and editing old family photos and slides, and uploading them to both my own photo management system, and to my parents, so that we have two separate copies. In between, I of course added in laundry, dishes, and general housework (inside!).
Sunday morning started with Divine Service, during which we had the induction of our new DCE intern, as well as his wife, who will be serving at the Lutheran school associated with our church.
After church, it was off to do my normal grocery shopping, and then back home, where I once again began working on editing old slides. I enjoy both seeing bits of family history, and getting to “be a part” in some small by archiving and editing the photos.
And now… it’s almost time for me to call it a day, so I’ll post this and finish up some last minute chores! Till next time!
