Not that I'm glad there's a funeral on, but I am glad that the government was closed today. While I still had to go to work, I shaved about 50 minutes (!) off my commute time since I didn't have to fight the government going into the city. Woot! Maybe I'll even get to leave here early today... eh, probably not. ;)

So I stayed up waaay too late last night (for me), mostly chatting and editing the movie. But since I had a doctor's appointment today (regular checkup), I figured I could sleep in. Then I realized as I got up this morning that I actually had to get up at the same time anyway, since I scheduled my appointment early. So needless to say I was ( Read more... )

What a nice, peaceful, LOOOONG weekend! I took Thursday and Friday off of work, so I had a nice long 5 day weekend, and I need some more time off to sleep, please ( Read more... )

Wow was Sunday ever hot. I tell you, when we started filming around the Grand Canyon and it was nice and cool, we certainly didn't envision being perfectionist enough to reshoot/shoot additional scenes where we still have to wear the jeans and long sleeve shirts that we did then. So we both probably lost about 5 lbs running around outside over ( Read more... )

In our weekly staff meeting today, this one guy was droning on and on about something (no idea what he was talking about). We had people conferenced in on the phone with an automated meeting set-up thingy. Apparently the meeting was only scheduled for an hour, because 55 minutes after the start (while the guy was droning on) the automated phone ( Read more... )

Ugh, I somehow mangaged to get myself sick over the weekend. Well, I think getting an average of 5-6 hours of sleep for the past two weeks contributes to it slightly. Oh well, I've stayed out of the hospital this time, so that's a marked improvement. *cough* I'll blame my officemate, even though he's not sick... he's got kids, some I'm sure that ( Read more... )

In order to avoid much of the afternoon traffic I've taken to working out at the gym in my building (much better than sitting in traffic cursing at the SUV that just cut me off). I'm too impatient though... I want results and I want them now! I'm sure in a few months this working out will make a different, but a few months isn't now. Where's my ( Read more... )

Yep... after a week having the office all to myself, I now have an officemate (roommate?). He seems pretty cool, so I guess it could be worse. We're working on different programs, which I guess is good in the sense that a) he won't know if I'm goofing off, and b) I'll get to learn what else is going on for work. Of course, this means I won't be ( Read more... )

So my office moved buildings two weeks after I got here. The new building is nice, although its still a pain in the ass to sit through rush hour traffic to get here. I guess they're still working on some of the floors, though, because they're currently using a drill and it makes me feel like I'm in a dentist's office ( Read more... )

Well, I've been at the new job for a week. I'm still supporting my old job 50% of the time, and working the new program 50% as well. I will say its a good thing I'm still working on the old program, because man... things sure are slow here! I guess I should enjoy the lull, but I'm used to coming in with a good 10-15 emails (not spam, but real ( Read more... )
