Bit of a late start today.

Needed to get some Photoshop work done first thing, and then I started to build out a template for a new report that is coming at some point in the next week. Could be a long one, so best to get as much ready up front before the deadline begins to loom over me, and I feel the weight of it on my shoulders until I’m done my first full draft. Gathering photo materials is kind of a fun task at first, and then it can spiral out of control pretty quickly. Have to make a conscious effort not to pull photos from the wrong countries too. That is a sticking point I find later on, as I’m not always up to date on all of the products on offer by various brand names or multi national corporations. But they know, and they’ll tell me I’m sure.

Even when I worked at a major brewery, it was easy to forget which location had which sku’s associated with all of your brands and/or partner brands. If I recall I made myself a massive heart to keep track of it, but partners would come onboard or drop out so often that I had it covered with sticky notes until it was more of an eye sore than a helpful visual aid.

So Day 71 eh? Well now, look at you, reading along with me, awesome. My kids have hit school day number one hundred today, so there’s that. They did some fun stuff to commemorate that feat, or so I’ve been told. So more than halfway through the school year, which means that spring and summer are screaming towards us at a break neck pace. Yeah! I wonder if Covid will be beaten back enough for summer camps this year? I’d like to have some kid free time to work on stuff around the house. Hell, I’d like to have a kid free evening so my wife and I could go eat or hit the driving range by ourselves for an hour or two. Did I mention I bought a used set of clubs and bag for forty dollars the other day? Oh, I’m so excited! It had the few clubs I wanted and use most. Putter, drivers, a nine iron and a couple other clubs too. I’m like a par three course kind of golfer. Mainly because I only really play once every decade or so. Ha! But I’ll be sure to go to the driving range now! Or at least I’ll hope to go, whether I do or not remains to be seen.

I need to grab some water softener salt, so I’m going out into the cold again. TTYS
