Two for Tuesday

 I'm kind of proud of myself. This has been a pretty long day for me two meetings and I made both of them on time. I knew it was going to be a little dicey but it was easier than I thought that's for sure. I had my regular assist meeting down by the library and that done my research that after that meeting if I could get out in time I would be able to just go to 4th South which is a rate really across the street and catch the number four that would take me up to just a block away from the buffmyre center where my afternoon meeting would be and my lunch. My first meeting went off without incident we had about 20 documents we had to sign off on and because I had requested that we go as quickly as possible we got done in pretty good time. I caught the bus at the library minutes to spare the look right up to the buff Meyer building after the drop off. It was a beautiful day for traveling that much I must say. Blue Skies and pretty warm temperatures actually. A wore a pretty heavy sweater shirt which kept me pretty well protected plus I had a hat which kept my heat in.

The second meeting typically called the assistant Technology Council or at Council was okay. They had the usual boxed lunch meal which wasn't bad I just wish they would have something besides water for the beverage. However the sandwich was feeling chips were good too many chocolate chips in the cookie but a cookie is a cookie is a cookie. The assistive technology meeting is changed quite a bit from the meetings of the old days. I fear I may have written about this in the past but it's still worth repeating. This was a agency meeting set up for not only agency folks but all other programs are services or businesses that service folks with disabilities we had a pretty good turnout all the time I'm used to have a really good hot lunch more or less. Not much meat but a lot of vegetarian spaghetti which was sort of disheartening but it was still nice. I represented the Independent Living Center of course when I first started going but there are a lot of other agencies that were there as well not So Much Anymore very slim pickings. Before I sort of Representative like I said independent living but now I don't represent anybody except myself. I don't know if I belong there anymore sometimes I think I'm getting fish eye looks from the new director. I need to visit with her to find out if maybe I shouldn't be coming anymore. I really don't have anything to report when it's my turn to report as far as things I'm doing for assistive technology and places I've been and people I've influenced it's kind of weird. Still though I think it's important at least I show up to give this agency or program some form of credibility. I think anyone who's interested in assistive technology show up to this meeting if nothing but solidarity to the concept. I totally believe in a-t and my support should be enough to justify my attendance and eating of the sandwiches
