update

The start of another week. Here at The Clarion Ledger, that's a good thing (at least we have a job . . . today).

I've noticed a few things this past week.

One: Mississippi road construction is a bit, how should I say, misleading. All last week, I've seen signs popping up mentioning road construction near the State Street exit on I-20 going east (over by where the Mitsubishi place used to be). I've yet to see any road construction crews, both in the morning or in the evening. No wonder it takes years to finish a road project.

Two: Met a guy that my dad has always talked about since I can remember. They were in the Navy together, and apparently used to cause trouble together. I told Megan meeting Ed Young was like having a fictional character pop out of a book. But since I've heard about him for nearly a quarter of a century, it was more like someone from Grimm's fairytales coming to life. It was a surreal experience.

Three: Having too many things on your mind is more than stressful. I've got so many things I need to do or want to do. During the time it takes me to check one item off the list, I'm thinking about five other things. Guess we call this "adulthood." Lucky me.

So it's back to work for me. I'll try to do a better blog later. But I've got two papers to finish (oh, plus I haven't started either one) today, and other plans tonight. That plus trying to KEEP a job in a business that's dying - you get the idea.
