Jun. 14th, 2004 07:11 pmGood day at school, today. i have decided i will stay 2 hrs after class each day most of the time. i get there an hour early most days. Doing this, i shouldn't have to bring work home.
On the other hand, when Master goes, i'll probably want work.
On the other other hand, i thought i had found an evening teaching job, extension courses for the uni. i called and talked to the secretary of the man in charge before i sent the paperwork in. i wanted to know if i could teach near where we live. i know there are extesion courses in Subahiya, about 10 km from me. Those classes have already started. The classes that are being offered now are in Khaldiya, too close to my campus. i don't want to stay in the office three days a week until 5 pm, when i am done with my summer course at 10 am. And i don't want to drive 45 km four times a day three days a week. Ok, ok, i guess i really don't want to teach an extension course this summer. But i told Matthew that i would be interested next September, if i could get at Subahiya.
We went swimming together today. i enjoy being with Him, but when He goes with me for a swim, i feel like i have to entertain Him, and then i don't get a really good workout. He will want to talk between laps, and i want to get my 2000 meters done. He had both float boards so He spent most of the time kicking up and down the length of the pool. That should be good for any stiffness in His knees and hips. i only got 1500 meters but anything is better than nothing. And i'm getting brown.
He cooked dinner tonight. One of the benefits of Him being home. Was very good. We were able to freeze three servings, so after He goes to Baghdad, i will have good meals, and little fuss. If i don't have to cook for Him, i have a hard time cooking for one. Frozen meals helps, because if i have to cook for me, it's cold cereal and milk, and toast. Or popcorn. i would like to have more meals in the freezer, but i don't know how much longer He has here.
His old company is showing it's unprofessionalism. The president's secretary of His new company (NC) called the old company(OC)asking about some paperwork that needs finishing. The NC secretary was told that a letter tha was sent to the KAF by the OC needed to be retyped in Arabic. NC secretary asked when it would be done. OC secretary said she didn't know, the person who does the Arabic typing has a sore arm. There must be some logic to that explanation but it is lost on me. OC secretary said maybe as early as next week. This is a paper that has two paragraphs of text on it, barely. i could type it in Arabic with two fingers. Might take me 30 minutes, but there is no way on this green earth it has to take 7 more days. Oh well, the longer OC messes around with His paperwork, the longer i get to keep Him here with me.
i'm going to enjoy my summer students. They have come up with some really good topics for their research. i hope they keep up their enthusiasm.
Where oh where is my daughter? She's supposed to be talking to her momma right now.
