I have had a long string of days with multiple meetings plus a few meetings-related projects that had to be done. Things slow down just a bit tomorrow and a bit more on Friday. Maybe by Saturday, I will just have the standout on the Green, which really isn’t a meeting. It is a time to talk with old and new friends, so that I can just enjoy. But maybe, just maybe, I’ll have the rest of the afternoon and evening to myself. I look forward to that, and maybe even a quiet Sunday before the action begins again.
Working backward through my day, tonight I had a Board of Library Trustees meeting where, as treasurer, I had to present the second quarter finance report. I can perform the common functions of Excel, but I truly struggle when putting together the reports. I need to have a serious tutoring session with someone who uses Excel to produce financial reports. In the meantime, I will continue to muddle through.
This afternoon I produced the report I presented tonight and that tool all afternoon. And going back just before working on the quarterly report, I hosted my book club. And before that, I attended a Falmouth Immigrant Rights Coalition (FIRC) business advisory meeting. I went just to support the team presenting, but I learned a think or two as well. It was another busy, but good day.
