Tuesday was a little less terrible than Monday, mostly because we’d already heard enough bad news on Monday. Also, Aaron was back, even though he wasn’t feeling 100%. This is mostly because various regulations won’t let him get paid for the several weeks he’ll be taking off soon unless he goes in to work for [...]

Thanksgiving week was pretty relaxing, since I was on vacation. And of course, I learned that Chris has found another job, and his last day is Friday. This is slightly inconvenient as he’s been here for a long time, and he was working on a really important project. Which he doesn’t have time to finish [...]

It seems like it’s been a really, really busy week, which is why there haven’t been any updates. Wednesday, I actually had the day off. Still had a bunch of stuff to do. Stephanie and some of her cow-orkers held a charity concert during their lunch hour, so I drove out to see that. The [...]

This was pretty good and we were in the lead when I left. The restaurant was pretty noisy, so I thought Kelli had [...]

Everything sort of went foof on Wednesday, which is why there haven’t been any updates for a while. Grandma died, and they scheduled the funeral for Friday, so I had to try to fix everything possible, then buy a plane ticket about 24 hours in advance of departure. This was semi-expensive. At least work was [...]

Monday: Pretty normal at work, though I spent a fairly long time talking about basic Linux system administration to another guy from a different section. I also heard from Bill—he said that he quit his new job and returned to his old job mostly because “After a couple of weeks there, I knew I wasn’t [...]
