Matt and I are leaving tomorrow for a week in Juneau, for One Last Trip to the Ol' Homestead... but mostly because one of Matt's besties is getting married. We are very excited for them- they are adorable together and it's going to be a great Juneau wedding. I want to specify that the few details I have heard about the wedding make think it's going to be a Juneau wedding- they are getting married at the Thane Ore House (converted mine, now local fish feed place), the mother of the groom is leaving her car at the ferry terminal for the band to drive themselves in on and the bride asked for help picking wildflowers for her bouqet. Right? You wish you were coming to this wedding too...
While Matt is going to be adventuring around with all the assembled friends all week, I am taking a working vacation- hoping to put in some hours on my current contract. And can we talk about how much I dig this contract? The work is really enjoyable- I spent this week reviewing new material and then coming up with test questions to assess the learning objectives. Learning AND being creative, brilliant! And the work is pretty high through-put, I get assigned tasks from an unending list of things to do, and most tasks are 1-3 hours. I feel like I am accomplishing things, which is great! The bulk of the content is IT related, which you might think I would feel underqualified for. (I'm not OVERqualified, it's true.) But having spent so many years thinking about educational standards and assessment, I actually feel like I have something unique to offer. At least I feel like I've come up to speed pretty quickly. The other awesome side of this work is I am finally in a position where I need to find one of those people who helps you figure out what you are going to do come tax time, is this an accountant or a financial adviser in my case? Yeah, I've got self-employment problems.
So I will be working as much as I can stand, and Kelsey is coming in, and Mom and Dad are moving and it promises to be a pretty wild week.
