The Weekly Wrap-Up: June 21-25, 2021

I turned all the lights in the hallway off today. Also in my office. I usually do on Friday. I'm almost always the only one in my section of the building. It's not that I don't want to see anyone. I just don't want to make it easy for them to find me.

It's been a decent week. Lynae has been in a couple of times for training. We started her on Iloko, which is a brand new language for us. She's getting to experience all the highs and lows of figuring out the quirks of a new project. We had a Next Gen meeting, which is basically all the younger folks talking about ways to liven this place up a little. I worked on Tamil quite a bit, and we're getting close to being able to publish some of it. Otherwise, lots of meetings for future events, projects, things that really should have been an email... the Usual.

Oh! Except I did a quick voiceover for a video. And I do mean quick. I was pretty much in and out in 10 minutes. The turnaround was quick as well - what do I see in my email later that day but a link to a video. Not bad, if I do say so myself.

I do want to ask for your prayers. I've been feeling an increasing anxiety as we get closer to the anniversary trip. I really do think things will be fine, but this is my reality now. I feel a little pathetic that I get anxiety about having anxiety, but hey, FDR did make famous the saying that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. I disagree wholeheartedly with that statement - there are other things to fear. But he's not entirely wrong, nor was the original author. 

Anyway.

That's what I've got for you this week. I hope you have a fantastic weekend. 

Bye!

  1. Several things that I need to comment on here. First of all, how in the world did I fall for the whole "the lights are off in Jessica's office so she must not be here" thing on Friday. I was clearly not at the top of my game. Also, great job on the video. When I heard your voice, I assumed that was what you were heading in to record when I saw you in Communications, so I was surprised to see the video that afternoon! And finally, I am definitely praying for you this week, leading up to vaca.
