I'm in what you might call trainer's limbo right now. I'm not sure whether I'm going to Santa Clara, CA next week or not, because the client hasn't gotten back to the boss about whether or not they're ready to start their project. I have my materials together, I'm just waiting for a phone call or an email to tell me to get my plane ticket and my materials printed. If they do decide to start next week, it's going to cost them an arm and a leg to get me there, is all I have to say.

Last night Mary asked me to drive her to school and pick her up afterwards. I had been spending most of my time in my office, so I said sure, drove her to school, then went to Borders for the next two and a half hours. I spent about half of that time wandering around looking at books, and the other half of the time in the cafe, drinking Cafe Americano (out of a glass, if you can believe that) and scribbling in a notebook. Didn't buy anything, but it was fun to get out of the house.

I took Mary to get a TB test so that she can do her externship after she finishes her class. She's going to need to take over the keyboard here in a little while, because she's taking a class in Windows over the Internet. Don't ask me why I'm not teaching her myself.

Oh well, off to prepare the training materials for the week after next. This one's going to be mostly cutting; I have the materials all set, I just need to cut out the parts they don't want me to teach. Maybe I should have lunch first...
