Pre-Orientation Crazy

Orientation:
1. The determination of the relative position of something or someone (esp. oneself).
2. The relative physical position or direction of something.

11:55 am May 1, 2012

And here it is, the time of the year that I start to go a little bit crrrrraaaaazzzzzyyyyy! When friends & family try to talk to me, and I'm staring out in space thinking about the 20 more things I need to get done today (10 of which I'll fail to complete).

Yes, Westfest Volunteer Orientation Meeting is tonight, 6 pm at Clocktower Brew Pub in Westboro. And while every year the event goes smoothly, every year I nonetheless get into panic mode about 48 hours prior and lose touch with everyone around me.

Since I really should be doing something more productive than ranting in my blog today, here's the rough Agenda for tonight so you know what you are in for:
