Today was a normal enough day. I went to work. Levi went to Vacation care. He and I talked about camping next to the creek at our house when it gets dry enough. That quickly translated to 'Friday night' to his ears and now I think we will be camping by the creek tomorrow night come heel or high water, but of those two it's the latter that I am more concerned about. Not really though. It hasn't rained that much, just enough to be a little annoying and making the clean up part of camping harder.
Levi can't wait. He is very excited and collapsed into tears this afternoon when he thought that I forgot. I had just misunderstood what he was asking. I think that most of the crying was fatigue. It would be a perfect thing for money to suddenly appear and for me to not have to work over his vacations, but that is just not reality for either of us. Next holiday is only a term away and that is the big one. We will have all sorts of time to relax then, when we have a whole 5 some weeks. We are definitely counting the days.
Work has been really interesting lately. Our computers are failing and the wait time to open documents is about 5 minutes, to save documents about 10 - 15 minutes and to start the computer itself has been from 30 mins to not opening at all. It means that there is a lot of down time, when you can't really start something else, but also you can't do anything. It degenerates fairly quickly into practical jokes and shooting Nerf guns at each other. In the same way that my Mother reported from every single Parent - Teacher night; "Sue knows exactly where the line is and doesn't step over it"; I am now concerned as we push closer to that line. I think that I am starting to step back again from that edge. I hope that the rest of my team are old enough and smart enough to start to take that step back as well. I also hope that the computers start to respond again, making stepping over the line much less likely.
