some work people met up at boston beer works after work on friday. it was an interesting night. as usual, we pretty much only talked about work related stuff. after about 3 pitchers between lynne and myself, things got a little emotional. i kind of go back and forth with the feeling of actually making a difference. lately i have been wondering if i ( Read more... )

man alive, tonight was good. our office is currently hosting a meeting with all the big wigs for one of the projects i work on. while i am not "cool" (aka important) enough to actually be involved in the meetings, i was invited to dinner with them (which is clearly the important part) and it was awesome. we went to dolce vita and had our own room ( Read more... )

tonight was a pretty decent night. we went out after work for a farewell party for one of the girls at my company. she is going back to school. i'm sad because she was pretty awesome. anyway, we went to boston beer works, had some food, played some pool. i enjoyed myself. then took off for the sox game. they called the game and covered the field in ( Read more... )

i've started field work in rhode island. i think it's going to be fairly enjoyable. we pretty much just get to chat with people while running water. isn't that exciting? i've got to say though, that we met some really nice, friendly people. i met a couple people whose children went to northeastern. a woman gave us chocolate (60% cacao), yum! we got ( Read more... )

man alive. i am such a fucking asshole. i'm completely overtired and stressed out and feel like none of my concerns or questions are being addressed and i'm pretty much freaking out about this project. so what do i do? i fucking cry in front of my team leader who i've known for a goddamn day ( Read more... )

as i was walking home from work tonight, i noticed the sky and how beautiful it looked. everything was so clear, like crystal, yet it was cloudy at the same time. but the parts of the sky that were visible were so vivid and bright. i don't think i've ever seen the stars here as bright as they were tonight. and i remember as a little kid, looking up ( Read more... )
