boy named sue, johnny cash

i went to two venues to perform tonight, first was an open-mic and the second was the karaoke bar. i sang 'boy named sue' by johnny cash at the karaoke bar. i looked at the book and said it was a good one as i will be seeing my dad in a few days. and i wanted to get more singing practice in as well. it was nice that the open-mic was on again, because last week it wasn't. it was a short lineup, made it easier for me to get to another venue.
   it was nice to get back to work as a test scorer this morning, after being 'on vacation' for over a week. i saw an HR rep, who was there for paperwork for the new hires, and said my aunt had passed. so i knew i needed to get a note to my boss about it. this was the training day, and i have already qualified to score tests. although i hated being so tired, fighting to stay awake at times. so i of course welcomed the breaks, where i could get up and walk around some. i have a different team lead this time, but somebody i recognized as he was a moderator from the first project i did. no surprise how i fell asleep in my easy chair after i got home. i have made the hotel reservation as of this morning related to going to iowa soon, same hotel from when i was in the area for my class reunion. it works well to search on hotels dot-com. will have to see if any other reservations need to be made.
