I am never very happy when my routine or life is disrupted. It’s tough enough to keep all the balls up in the air as it is.
So traveling isn’t easy but I do even have a routine for traveling — and workshops.
I am careful to get there early, find a place that I don’t feel trapped, a place where I can take care of my issues without disrupting the people around me.
I did that yesterday. I had a place that worked really well.
They rearranged the furniture yesterday so everyone felt free to move. I’m now in a place where I can’t do any of the above and I am very upset. To the point I am very close to tears.
The walking is getting to me, I have 3500 steps on my pedometer this morning. I put it on after I got up and dressed, so it is 3500 steps to walk to breakfast and then to walk to our workshop. Tomorrow, I’m getting up at 6:00 am, getting dressed, getting my truck, loading everything, and then driving to breakfast. Then I’ll drive to the workshop.
By the way, I’m a bit disappointed by the workshop, because so far it has been 1 day of lectures, and it looks like it will continue to be that way. We lecture way too much in CS.
And while I am ranting — one of my classmates completely freaked out over my taking a shot at dinner. EXCUSE ME! Grow up, my students deal with it fine each day. He’ll really freak out when I test my blood sugar around him.
