So, I came to the realization mid-way through yesterday that I’ve been working way too damned hard the last two weeks. It’s true, I’ve been hugely productive at work, I’ve ridden a ton of miles on the bike, and I’ve even gotten a start on the Humdingers tracks I owe my bandmates down south. That […]
So, in most endeavors this week, I struggled to make anyone particularly happy; stuff just didn’t seem to work out. I plugged through work, settled some issues, but saw a bunch of others arise. I had one really nice bike ride on Tuesday, though weather and pollen kind of spoiled the rest of the week, […]
While work was as frustrating as requirements review board submission deadline week usually is, it was an otherwise decent week. The certification test I’m running in the other piece of my job that I haven’t been able to let go of yet after the reorg in February is going swimmingly, and more importantly, the weather’s […]
Another Friday, another long week. A week full of sinus pressure, problematic bureaucracy, and senior executive briefings, framed by crappy weather that kept me off the bike most of the week. However, it’s Friday, and at this point, it’s looking like it’ll be a quiet one. I’ve moved my projects along to the point where […]
As alluded to earlier this week, the weather’s been rather awful, and it’s been keeping me from my primary source of stress relief; getting outside and riding the bike. The severe weather warnings have been coming in most of the week for the mid-Atlantic/Southeast, talk of 40-60 mph winds and tennis ball hail, which, y’know, […]
As we make note of the fact that it’s been a year since we’ve officially been using the term “pandemic” to describe the overall condition of the world, we mourn the loss of over half a million of our fellows, lament the denied opportunities for social interaction and live artistic performance and exhibition, and just, […]
Warning: contains promotional content! It has been, as they say, another week. And, looking back, a hell of a year. This time last year, things were just starting to get weird as the first cases of COVID-19 started popping up around these parts, leading to, well…you know. With the vaccines starting to work their way […]
I was hoping this was going to be a better week than the last, really I was. It rather wasn’t, especially Wednesday. A couple of weeks back, I misread a couple of cells on a spreadsheet cost estimate, leading to me entering the wrong number in another cell of another spreadsheet for a data call. […]
Another weekend, another ice storm in the forecast. Joy. Looking at the most recent maps, I’m hopeful that it won’t be terrible in this corner of the world, I’m also kind of bracing for the worst…again. Sure, we were only out 36 hours last weekend, though when reviewing history, two weeks out is not an […]
