Homosapiens have outgrown their use
Open request to Massachusetts: Fucking finish Route 3 already... The road is completely paved, the lines are painted, and the ramps have been renovated... What the shit are you still working on?
I'm finally shifting further into the "new stuff" here at work... My new cubicle is awesome... It's a little bigger than usual (it's at the end of a row, so I got the leftovers) and I'm in a row with all the CAD guys, so the lights above my cube are all turned off... I am not a big fan of fluorescent tubes, so this is a good thing... In addition to the lack of overhead light, this cave is in the middle of the building, so I get no windows either... I have mixed feelings about this... On one hand, I hate glare, OTOH, I have no idea what's going on outside... There's going to be a lot of upfront design and documentation to take care of before any code is written (or at least, any non-prototype code).
The aforementioned accident was no big deal... I tapped someone's passenger side doors, nobody was hurt, and my car only got scraped up a bit... I was stopped at a stop sign, looked left and right, moved forward, and a car I didn't see was moving in front of me from the left... I haven't actually heard from the lady yet, she mentioned she was going to be out of town for awhile... Not sure if insurance is going to be involved, she said she would get an estimate first... It was a shitty way to start the Labor Day weekend, though... Other than the bad start, the trip was great... We didn't hit traffic in either direction, and the weather was great.
CSH Welcome Back Weekend was a ton of fun... Met tons of new people and caught up with lots of old friends. Had far too much to drink Friday night (turns out I was correct to avoid Everclear all these years), enjoyed the picnic on Saturday once we finally figured out when it was, had great food all weekend, and perhaps signifying a trend, we didn't encounter traffic in either direction. Even made it back in time for the Sunday Night Film Club's screening of "Le Monde du Silence (The Silent World)", which was surprisingly amazing... I was never into the Cousteau stuff when I was a kid, but this was really entertaining..
Ok, enough effluvia... This album (Busdriver's "Fear of a Black Tangent") is really good, you should check it out...
