Speechwriting
Friday, September 1st, 2006So I’ve had to channel my inner Sam Seaborn today to work on a speech for our Executive Director. Since she’ll be addressing 1,600(ish) people and that’s her largest audience in a given year, it’s sort of like the State of the Union. I seriously have a stack of past speeches, notes and research materials spread out around my bedroom right now. She wants a draft tomorrow to start practicing over the long weekend (I’m told her delivery can be a bit stiff if she’s uncomfortable).
I just heard from Eryka. I’m going to see The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee on Sunday. I’ll actually be ushering to earn my admission, but that’s very okay with me. Other than Spelling Bee, I’m not sure what I’ll do with my long weekend. I’m supposed to be at Burning Man right now, but with the Summit only two weeks away, that’s not happening.
I’m overdue for another phone call home. I’ve missed three birthdays now. I swear, if they’d all just get myspace accounts, I’d get the little reminders and wouldn’t forget every damn time.
I have to decide when I’m going back to Utah. I sorta want to get down to Vegas again for the NCOD Festival, but we’ll have to see what my employment situation looks like around that time. I could be unemployed again if O&E decides not to bring me on permanently. Either way, I feel a little guilty about planning another Vegas trip without visiting the family first. I miss Craig and Callie and Kaitlyn (not that I’ll get to see her even if I visit). At the same time, I don’t really have a reason to visit before Christmas.
