Putting this one up today because it’s Veteran’s Day (due respect, folks…) tomorrow and I have the day off, and plan on not staring at a computer all day if I can help it. This week’s been, well, not bad, but eventful. Been a little foggy after Tuesday’s dental stuff (no lingering pain, but less-than-awesome […]

First of all, I have gotten an imperial assload (much larger than a metric assload) of work done this week in the office, which is good and necessary. However, said productivity has basically sapped all ambition for Friday morning. Oh, I’ll get a few things done on this last-minute acquisition package (the one I joke […]

For the last couple of months, our program management center leadership team has been working on establishing more codified processes to get requirements properly managed, documented, and satisfied. Before we started this, there frankly wasn’t much of a process, which kind of pisses off auditors when they come in to look at things. So, this […]

This week, honestly, just kinda happened. I mean, I was there, and did some stuff, but the actual occurrences are just a blur of meetings, hikes, headaches, and ’80s movies. We did have our first frost of the season this week, and with that a new slate of mold and spore and plant particulate, leading […]

I could say that I wish the last week was more exciting and eventful, but I really don’t want to . I’ve made steady progress in some important areas, didn’t encounter any serious problems, had a bill or two come in a bit lower than expected, had my bar tab covered the other night by […]

It’s Friday…now; I spent a good bit of Thursday unable to shake the impression that it was, in fact, Friday then. It was not the best feeling. It’s been another week of a lot of the same sort of OG Herbert Kornfeld life; writing thousands of words few if anyone will read in the service […]

Apart from some health maintenance events, it’s been a remarkably dull and humdrum week. And those events? They mostly brought with them some dull and inconvenient but largely unremarkable aches. The dentist noticed some gum issues a few months back, so I got those evaluated, with all the resultant poking and prodding and x-rays and […]

This is hardly the first time I’m saying it, but it’s honestly been too much week, professionally, personally, mentally, and emotionally. I sit here on a Friday morning at 7am after clearing the inbox of overnight crises, with slightly over my official forty on the books. I do plan on knocking off a bit early […]

One could say it’s been an eventful week and change. Apart from the return of she who was long missing, I spent last weekend rocking DragonCon, where we played some pretty good shows, including Saturday’s, which I’d rank amongst the best we’ve played in years. If you were there, I hope you enjoyed it too. […]
