A To-Do List
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008
Throwing this here just so I remember to do these things. Quite a few things that really need to be done, and then there’s the things that I’ve just been itching to do, but haven’t done yet.
In no particular order, categorized by when it needs to be done, by weeks relative to now:
By April 20:
- Pack bag for Wood Badge II second weekend trip, happening this weekend (April 18-20) – done hours before going
- Do writeup for Wood Badge II homework – done April 17
- Get a meeting date decided for Troop planning and misc. issues for the coming months (May till June/July) – delegated to another Scouter (the one in charge of the months)
- Send out this week’s announcements for the troop – done early April 18
- Get number of confirmed participants for Nite Hike – found a sad number, but done nonetheless April 17
- Get people in on the stage crew team for the AGM on the 27th – got two people on board for this April 22
- Make sure all teams are on schedule for the AGM planning stuff – kinda done..
- Check on AGM booklet team on their status – technically should be almost done at this point if we are to meet the print deadline – done April 16 by another leader
- Get Nancy to fill in the Supervisor Evaluation for co-op – done April 15
- Hand in work report – done April 15
- See if I can get off work earlier on Friday so I can get down to Langley for Wood Badge II training – done April 15
- Determine Scout of the Year – done April 16
By April 27:
- Clean up my desk at work – done April 25
- Do documentation for my self-initiated project at work
- Fix issues with said project as we find them
- Get student volunteers to help out with the CS booths during SFU Open House
- See if I need to contact all my teacher contacts made during my work term to let them know who to contact now that my co-op term has ended – work approved idea on April 22
- Send said email – done April 25
- AGM – make sure all planning is done, all bases covered, etc., etc. – done April 27
By May 4:
- Meeting for Troop program and misc. management issues – done April 22
- Fix a Scout’s computer – I’ve had it for a while now, but I told her I should have time starting on the 28th because work is done by then
- Clean up my desk at home
- Clean up my room
- Throw out the random junk I don’t need that I find while cleaning up my room
- Review scary math in preparation for CMPT 419 so that I will not “run from the room screaming if [Greg Mori] say[s] “eigenvector” or “covariance matrix”" (email from Greg Mori forwarded through csadvise back in December 2007)
- Buy textbook for said class – done April 16
- Pay tuition for summer
And other, no specific due date items that have, unfortunately, just hung around. Also unfortunately is that this is all the fun and/or important stuff:
- Work on my online game project
- Work on a Scouts-inspired project related to badgework management – idea from fellow Scouter in my group from his discussion with his group during Wood Badge II because:
- Existing solutions are reportedly bad and hard to use
- I would benefit from such software
- I can make it a web application, which makes it fairly easy to get to and use
- Finish work on my Scout group’s website (a run-away project of epic proportions.. really. If we did earned value analysis on this project, the SPI would be very, very, low, perhaps somewhere < 0.01)
- Create my website, so that the main page doesn’t suck
- Related to the above: since I will be creating something on my own, chances are I will only use WordPress for blogging and nothing else, which means I need to make a template for my website, then port said template to become a theme for my blog
- Review my commitments on things and see if I really need to start cutting back on various things. Currently, all signs point to yes.
And hopefully there’s nothing else. There’s already a huge stack here already and more would just.. well, let’s not go there. I want to go to sleep tonight right after this without nightmares of things that I have not yet done, or forgotten to do.
