Not really. There were no commitments on my google calendar, which was a refreshing thing, but somehow the day filled up with stuff. I started by driving down to Midtown for coffee and a cinnamon roll. From there I drove on to the place in Mountain View where I need to take the car on Monday morning to be detailed. Just so I know where it is. It isn’t far, but I had forgotten that owing to a recent fire, El Camino is closed just about where this place is, so you have to detour around a few blocks to get to it. No big problem, but glad I know that now and don’t have to discover it at 8am Monday.
At various points in the day I did AV managing, arranging for a possible new recruit to shadow a couple of other people in the upcoming week. Emails and then trying to find people and talk to them. I also learned something about the systems on the 11th floor. I was up there trying to figure out why I wasn’t able to use all the sound system on Friday night when I ran that concert, and learned new things which meant I had to revise the user manual I had written. This is a work that I’m quite proud of: how to use all the TV facilities, the Comcast box, the Blu-Ray player, the Roku, and hook up a computer. All in very plain, simple English, step by step with pictures. I had to change the last page, taking a couple of new pictures and editing the document and printing it.
So the uncommitted Saturday turned into a fairly busy one, although there was plenty of time for goofing off and napping also.
