Starting to have some serious trouble keeping everything straight. Too many people coming to me with too many things to validate, verify, or otherwise find answers to. Because that is one thing I'm good at, if I don't have an answer on-hand, I'm good at getting it in a pretty quick time. Even if it's not something that's in my field. Outlook tasks are really starting to pile on...

Outside of work, same exact thing. Between running, working out, volunteering, moving, seeing folks, it's getting to be a lot. I have a whiteboard calendar now, and that's good, but things are still falling through. Example: Have a sticky note with 5ish things to do today outside of work/during work but unrelated. Eeeeeeeeeeee.

Competence breeds stress, so play dumb sometimes.

When will you be in Banff though ?

ButterflyEffect  ·  2556 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Well, I just made a call for Baker Lake and left a message...hopefully I'll get in. Have to make a call tomorrow for Merlin Meadows...

If that works out, I'll be in Banff from July 19th through the 21st or 22nd.

Edit: oyster, got the sites (fuck yeah)! I'm also going to have 21st and 22nd, any recommendations? I might extend the backpacking trip to the 21st but definitely want to do a "normal" site somewhere, or right at the lodge at Lake Louise, on the 22nd before heading back to the state.

So the 21st and 22nd you'll be around the actual town of Banff ?

ButterflyEffect  ·  2555 days ago  ·  link  ·  

100% yes on the 22nd, 50% yes on the 21st.

I would recommend coming up to Lake Louise and I can think up more specific stuff to do closer to the actual day since I haven't been here for a sunmet yet. Banff is great and all but it's a bit commercialized and will be crazy busy this summer.

Kind of figured that it would be crazy in the summer. Are you going to be around?

That's the plan, I'm not sure on my schedule for July yet though. I'll either be waking up early to work breakfast or going to bed super late. I'm hoping for the early shift still.
