It’s that
time of year where I look anxiously towards clearing my calendar so I can get
on with the next project. This winter I
took on a few extra “mini projects” at work which have really taken up a lot
more time than I anticipated so I really feel as though I am behind the eight
ball now. It’s pretty sad when a person actually
starts to hope for Christmas to be over!
Looming ahead of me is the big 60th
Birthday Bash for my high school class. I need to make some time to start telephoning
classmates to get confirmation on their plans.
That’s always the biggest challenge with whatever event is coming up,
getting commitment. When it comes to
buying and preparing food, no problem.
Arranging events, music, space, no problem, I’ve got it covered
someway. But ensuring that people show
up, that’s a huge challenge. Unless you
say the magic words “we are going to Banff” because for some reason when that
rumours flies around in our office suddenly there are people showing up in my
office that I’ve never heard of before.
“I worked for
your team.”
“Really,
when?”
“In 2007, I
tied Torger’s shoelaces once.”
“Really, how
tall was Torger?”
“He was a 6
foot Norwegian.”
“Ah, well
nice try but no cigar, sweetheart.”
I love it
when I can say stuff like that. Yeah,
people come out of the woodwork when you go to Banff. Coming to Nanton, well that’s a different
kettle of fish!
