Training on Weds was onigadaki, my favourite technique, but I didn't have as much fun with it as normal because it turned out that I was the highest ranking person there (technically, there was another guy who matches my rank, though not my seniority, but he's not really that good...), which meant that Jack gave me the kind of attention he usually gives his ukes (minus being beat up), with harsh criticisms combined with showing me cool extra things. It was sort of terrifying. The weird thing is Jack was in a really good mood before training because he knows this female marine because he teaches where she works, and thinks it's hilarious that she called out Timberlake. Being given harsh criticism right after seeing him in such a good mood gave me whiplash. Not that he wasn't right (since onigadaki is one of my favourite moves I got complacent with it, and he called me out on it), but ouch. The being taught a few cool things no one else did was nice but I'd really rather he just didn't pay as much attention to me. Let the 9th and 10th dans be there to soak up his attention *L*
There's a seminar tomorrow, and I was considering going, but it's one of the extra expensive ones and I can't really afford it. Plus, he specifically warned to bring mouth guards, and I'm really not in the mood to be punched in the face repeatedly tomorrow, funnily enough (see? I do draw the line somewhere).
Thursday afternoon was the first time I had to recover from my Wisconsin trip. I got sort of screwed over at work when one person was out sick for my 8 1/2 hours shifts on Tuesday and Weds which left me without a minute of spare time on Tuesday (when I was exhausted from the trip), and only a bit of spare time on Weds when they actually called in a whole other group of people to answer phones because it was pretty much just me left in the actual help desk to take calls (even the Asst Sup. was out), and then I had to go to training and wait for my mother to get back from the airport which ate up my whole day. Thursday was more calm, but I ended up on a call helping someone for an hour and a half and the call wasn't even over when I had to hand it over to someone else at the end of my shift. Crazy.
