Another winner

Wow, today was quite a day.  I'm glad I can multitask because sometimes there were three people standing around me rapid firing questions on different projects all at the same time.  It could have been worse I suppose, they could have each been speaking a different language…  I did get alot done and atleast the [...]

1/30/07

I am starting to think the Mondays are just too busy at work to actually post anything.  Yesterday was (obviously) no exception, I didn’t even read any of my daily blogs because between two long meetings and lots of general activity I was an hour late leaving.
 
The weekend in review is very similar to [...]

Date night Thursday (kinda)

Finally, FINALLY the Korea/China trip is just about planned.  By some virtue I can not identify, I was elected trip coordinator for this so yesterday I put pen to paper (ok, keyboard to excel) and planned out the route.   We will be leaving the US on Sat Mar 3 and returning Tuesday March 13 [...]

reason for the quiet

I’ve been delinquent at blogging.  Basically we had a huge problem that didn’t work out too well that I don’t really want to go into however it has been a dominant thing over the past week.   Because I don’t really want to talk about it, I don’t really have much else to say… 
 
Yesterday [...]

Blue Monday

Today is apparently the most depressing day of the year . I don’t know if it is any better or worse then other days but that is what scientists say.
 
This weekend was extended for me a bit, I came down with something on Thursday night and I took Friday off and all weekend I either [...]

Mexico

So here I am, back at work, back on a schedule.  In my opinion, the vacation was just the right amount of time.   Any shorter would have felt rushed, any longer and I would have gotten bored.  I’m sure I could get used to the life of leisure, just reading and playing games with [...]

We are back

It was a good trip, we are now back in this country. 
 
More tomorrow, time to go drink water out of the tap and enjoy not having to tip anyone for the next 24 hours

Cancun

Internet is not what was advertised on their website so I’m just popping in quickly to post a picture.

I’m in the airport

I can see the plane
We can't think of anything we forgot
We got thousands of Pesos at the exchange booth and either the lady was very dumb because she didn't give us our change ($4 American) or, she was smart and ripping us off.  Either way we got our money.
In 4 hours we will be 80 [...]

a ‘real’ post

Wow, I missed a day, and the post the day before was supposed to have a part two that had something in the way of substance.   In some ways I have had incredibly busy days however they are full of stuff I can’t really write about or that is totally uninteresting.  Right now I [...]

sun?

There was this odd and sudden glare on my screen.  I turn to the huge windows behind me and the sun is actually out!!!   It lasted about 30 seconds before someone closed the blinds but it is nice to know the sun still exists.

weekend review

Wow, today flew by, I had two major meetings and one minor one but basically all day was meetings.   The last one even included an irate supplier but we got it solved in the end.
 
This weekend I went to an event and it was a nice small affair.  I like when everything is in [...]

Roomba

So far the most exciting thing I’ve done this week is loose the roomba on the house.   Roomba fits under most of the furniture and is pretty good about getting all over a room.  I have roomba proofed the living room, bed room, computer room and guest room.  The Kitchen was roomba proof [...]

weekend is almost here

I think my work has a worm hole or a time warp or something.  Nomatter how late I think it is or how early I think it is in the afternoon I look at the clock and it is around 2pm.   I have been very productive this afternoon and I was sure it was [...]

downgrade to sniffles

My cold is going away finally.  Last night I woke up at 3am coughing but a cough drop stopped it and I don’t think I was up too long.  Today I think I’m down to 15-20 tissues so far and I can breath out of half my nose.  I have high hopes for the [...]

first post of 2007

Took another blogging break over the weekend.  It is way easier to blog from work around lunch time since I spend 90% of my work day in front of the computer compared to weekend time when I am doing other things.  The long weekend was nice but I seem to have the cold my [...]
