Lessons Learned in Vlogging

Drinking and video recording don't mix. Hard to believe, I know. I haven't owned this camcorder for a week and I'm already realizing that not every situation calls for video footage. I have no plans to bring the camcorder back to Iowa City. There are some things that don't need to be documented. I also realized that I can't drink like I used to in college. Lessons aside, I had an amazing time and can't wait for the football season to begin. Go HAWKS!

After recovering from a great night in Iowa City I must turn my attention to a greater priority, which is work. It's after 11:00 p.m. and I'm at the office printing off a series of projects that need to get done. I leave for Colorado tomorrow afternoon and project deadlines must be met prior to my departure. That leaves me in a shitty situation that I would like to avoid, but inevitably the work needs to be completed. Just like my experience in Iowa City, there are also lessons to be learned from my procrastination here at work:

1. Vacations are fun, but are more enjoyable if you're not worried about the work you didn't complete prior to leaving.
2. A little planning goes a long way: I've known for weeks what I will be doing each day on vacation, but couldn't have told you two weeks ago when exactly I would be finished with my post-season project.
3. Dependability: A co-worker is depending on my work to be completed in order for him to effectively do his job. By not completing my work I would be effecting someone else's work which in turn could be effecting many others.
   

Each of these is pretty obvious but they seem a lot more apparent when you are stuck at work into the wee hours of the night.

As far as the Colorado trip goes, you can expect some blogging and/or footage posted while I'm on the trip. While I can't predict what will go down during this adventure, I can tell you that the many fun/interesting occurrences will make an appearance on this blog.

I think I'm 25% done with my work for the night, no big shake.
