~:[CH12 - Day 337]:~ Delays

I love efficiency. I typically have a pretty long list of things to do, so I do my best to make the most of my time. I always say that lazy people actually find the most efficient way of doing things and while I don't consider myself "lazy," I do have the tendencies that allow me to find ways to do things the quickest so I can get on to other things. Of course, the production that was supposed to happen today did not as my computer processing was not as quick as I had planned. I am switching to my "newer" laptop to edit this year's video. I have been scared the past few years to edit such a large project on a platform I am not comfortable with organizing tens of thousands of clips. This year, I am making the leap, but as I cleaned up the computer, I found that it was going to take much longer than expected similar to the conversion of my footage which has been running non-stop since Black Friday. Yes, that is over a week! Regardless, despite the delays, you find a way, you get things done and you reroute, reschedule and do your best to get to your destination as planned. In the middle of the work day, I stopped by school to congratulate the team as they came back from Mira Costa. I loved how hard they worked throughout the conference and how focused they stayed throughout and that right there was the greater award than anything that they can take home. As I always say in class, let's celebrate the awards as an extra, but let's focus on making sure we learn, we grow and we involved ourselves in committee. If they do those things, I'll leave a conference happy every time before the awards ceremony even begins. After a quick visit, I headed back realizing that this delay would last longer than expected, yet, I was able to get get ahead on other tasks that I had put off, before I have to focus in on the larger task at hand. Wish me luck on the next ten days, hoping that there are no more delays.
