The Weekly Wrap-Up: April 17-28, 2023

I have been slacking in blog posts, and I can't promise that this one will be any better. So I apologize now and will hopefully make up for it in the coming weeks. (Not next week because I won't be here.)

We had the CMF Seminar this week, so it's not like I haven't been doing anything. Last week was spent going over the tech needed for each session and getting things ready. This week, I think I maybe sat at my desk for a total of about five hours. Maybe a slight exaggeration, but it really hasn't been much. 

Which means I haven't done any of my usual work this week. I knew it would happen and I prepared my team for that. They just kinda shrugged and got on with things, which I love about them. 

We were non-stop this week from 9 until whenever I could get home, which was sometimes after 8. I had a great tech team that was helping me record sessions and run the sound system and cameras. A lot of it is automated, which helps quite a bit, but it does still require a brain behind the curtain. Plus, it was nice to see people I only hang out with about once a year. And I like to help Sarah not go crazy. More crazy. 

My next prayer letter should lay out more of what happened this week, and I will totally get to writing it soon. I hope. I could use some sleep before that happens. But it will! I promise. 

Okay, I think that will have to be it. I gotta go de-people for a bit. 

Bye!

The Weekly Wrap-Up: April 10-14, 2023

Yes, the fun never stops here at OMS. 

I say this with all sarcasm. Obviously. It has been such a quiet week around here. 

Clearly, I missed last week's update. Somehow, I had forgotten that Friday was Good Friday and that we wouldn't be in the office. And if I'm not in the office, I can't do a blog post. (Not really. But it might as well be true.)

Anyway, we are replacing the ancient unit that runs the heating and cooling system in the building. Most people (probably the sane ones) opted not to come in since no one was sure what the temps would be in the office. Honestly, it hasn't been that bad. Maybe a little stuffy. But I also reside in the basement, so maybe I'm not the best judge. 

These last couple of weeks have been spent working on the last of the emails I needed to send to T&M users and following up with their inquiries. My computer is still having issues, so that hampered my efforts. But we had some decent responses, so I'm pleased with that. 

I was also doing a lot for Family Fun Night, which was Tuesday. I always forget to take pictures when I'm hosting an event, so I didn't get any. But it was a really good night! We had some fun Bible foods and did a quiz I devised. It took a lot out of me, though. I took Wednesday off with a headache. 

The next big event will be the CMF Seminar. I've been helping Sarah where I can with that. I'll be doing tech, and we're waiting for everyone to get their stuff in so we know what we're up against. Historically, these people are not great at deadlines. But, we'll get there. Come what may.

I did finally finish the Spanish art swap. All that's left is to publish those files. Sometime. Soon.

I think that's about the size of it, folks. Have a great weekend!

Bye!
