I spent almost a week taking care of my sick wife while I was home and managed to stay healthy. The next week at home after that, I still managed to stay healthy. Now after almost a week onboard, I get the creepy crud with the same symptoms my wife had! It makes no sense ( Read more... )

Where did the time go? I had meant to post an update on the travels and such, but never got around to making the time. Even now, in the midst of a very slow time with the project on the boat, I have not been very motivated to getting around to things that I had meant to do. The reason things are slow is because we are not acquiring data at a very ( Read more... )

Just to let those who were curious know. My myocardial perfusion test went basically like every cardiac stress test I have had since the test a couple of years ago showed some restricted blood flow in my heart. That last test before I had that horrible date with the Irish bitch Angie O'Gram I felt pretty good coming out of the test. Since then ( Read more... )

For those who may not have read a previous post where I came up with the above mentioned acronym, it means GiveAFuckIndex. Despite a total lack of motivation, I did manage to get the last of the informal appraisals via telephone of my team members done this morning.

Sheesh, I just realized that it has been two weeks since my last post!  Where did the time go?  Part of why I haven't posted has much to do with recent events and the fact that as much as I love my crackberry, it does not work out very well for making posts. Though I am fighting my perfectionist tendencies (compulsion?) I don't like making posts ( Read more... )

After several minutes of screwing around with the deal, he finally called the ( Read more... )

In my last post, I didn't realize that I wasn't taking enough steps backwards. As the 4 day long jobs that were running when we first got onboard the vessel, we started seeing something in our data quality control checks that just blew my mind literally out of the water! In the first several sequences, one of the streamers of the ten we are ( Read more... )

I had meant to make this update last night, but got caught up in other things instead (no not those kind of other things you pervs ( Read more... )

OK, I am trying to figure this one out.  I don't know if it's India, or this boat, but my last two trips I have gotten some kind of feel bad bug on the trip.  Last trip was the 24 ish flu like bug.  This trip I feel like crap again.  This started a couple of days ago with me waking up with a sore throat. The inside of my throat felt like I had been ( Read more... )
