Perfect example:
I got crap done this morning at a leisurely pace. Around 11:45 this morning my day got much more hectic. I met Josh Woodard for lunch at Taco Bell where we discussed Oasis conference and the upcoming fiasco that it will inevitably be. I look foreword to working with those guys with it, but trying to do a conference in a place that you cant visit right now is a difficult proposition; especially in this case where those that above me in the ladder have not put as much thought into it as I have and are not in as big of a hurry to get crap done.
Left that meeting to head into the church where I really didn't accomplish much; aside from plugging in my computer and answering questions that I didn't really know the answer too.
Soccer practice started at 4:00 this afternoon. I arrive half an hour early and answered more questions that I didn't really know the answer too. Coached soccer (or what at least could be mistakened for soccer if your eyes were crossed in just the right way) for a couple hours and then went to a coaches meeting.
I was told then that I needed to design a hooded sweatshirt; grade kids for soccer; and that some families had complained that I did not go to meals with the team last year. To this last one I reply that I do not have the money to spend $30 every time we have a soccer game. McDonalds, Taco Bell, or Arbys all fall into my price range and if they would like to accompany me there I will gladly oblige.
After the coaches meeting, I was supposed to stay for the parent meeting. I walked in and introduced myself and then left. The meeting hadn't started yet but my schedule was becoming ever-looming so I decided to speed along the process.
Left there and gassed up my truck. Then went to Tractor Supply to get some 2-4-D broadleaf weed killer to kill weeds at my land. Since it was going to rain tuesday, wednesday, and thursday this week tonight was going to be my only chance to spray this week, seeing as I have to Manhattan on Friday and Joplin on Saturday.
Got the weed killer and drove home. I was home long enough to go to the bathroom and pick up the chainsaw. I drove to my grandma's house to get a sprayer for my weed killer. Tested all of her sprayers and shot the bull for a couple minutes.
Showed up at the land at 7:15 and sprayed weeds until 9:00 p.m. I don't know if it is illegal to spray past dark, but I did. Don't know if it said anything about it in the directions but who knows. Found an infestation of poison ivy, bind weed, lespediza, and johnson grass up there. Killed the first three; but need to get round up for the johnson grass.
I decided to go see my girlfriend at this time. Ate a frozen pizza (my first meal since noon) and watched a half an hour of CSI: Miami. That dude who says the serious stuff all the time is a real piece of work. Left her apartment at 10:30ish to arrive home, where I was promptly questioned about: my whereabouts; my financial ability; my current agenda; my mail; and many other things, which lead me to believe that although I had a quite busy and, in the grand scheme of things, successful day, there are those who would believe that more was to be asked of me. Long Day!
God should have made the day longer like he did in Joshua 10. His was a little more action packed though!
