Preparation for Weekly meeting
Oct. 21st, 2012 09:44 amSo it's Sunday, which means at 3pm I contact Zack and we have a weekly meeting, in which we go over the past week to see if we got done what we talked about a week earlier, and make plans for the upcoming one, to be reviewed *next* Sunday.
I'm feeling very centered, which unfortunately is not the same thing as all prepared and ready to go. I have a Calling and a Career, and hope to make them also generate a Job or an Income, though neither of those latter are in place yet. The Calling is the GeekCiv project, which at Friday's Elder's Caucus I declared I would have on-line within a month. I can do that, but had better get moving on it if it's going to happen; the two critical elements are the Positive Proxy proposal and the Responsibilities of the Citizen research. The Career is to start an independent project-management practice, starting in Portland and with the goal of establishing branches in seven major cities (Portland, SF Bay area, LA, Seattle, San Diego, Ensenada MEX, and Vancouver BC).
In terms of actions this week, Monday is busy here in Portland -- household meeting here at Nan's at 11am, in which I ask to be a member of this household, get my mail and leave my backpack here; then there's the Solutions Committee meeting at 6pm, GA at 7pm, and the bus back to Corvallis at 11:30pm. Having a base of operations *in* Portland will be of tremendous advantage to getting established up here.
Tuesday in Corvallis I have a 9am doctor's appointment (still trying to get the hernia fixed); then I get in touch with Cory at the Magestic and see if I can use their Maker-space to finish the Bike House Trailer. If yes, move it down there; if not, get started on finding some other way to finish it.
And the remainder of my week can be spent finishing Bacon and reading up on all the different flavors of Agile Programming. Okay, that's enough; I'm prepared for my week.
