unsafety pin and curling up

• training
  training went very well last night, and the kid organized a seriously good meal afterwards.


• ipod sleep
  i slept to the japanese podcast lessons (and the boring hebrew lectures), i have no idea if it had any effect. to be fair, i wasn't sleeping well anyway.


• almost late again
  i just don't know.


• unsafety pin
  the picture above is of the pin i've been using to replace the bag clip that i lost the other day. it didn't hold so well.


• straight to work
  today was full-stream, beginning at 7.30am.


• monday morning meeting
  another team came out of the same meeting shell-shocked, we actually managed to enjoy ourselves. at one point, our SC informed me that our TL has been instructed to spend 50% of his time managing us:
  "without you, we have no product", he said, giving me a knowing look.
  i gave him the same sage look back: "and without us, our TL would have 50% more time to be productive"


• ex-co-worker's daughter
  i wouldn't be having such arbitrary email conversations with her if she wasn't so sexy.


• points card
  my new card was ordered, my old cancelled, but i had to send a letter requesting the cancellation retroactively. i'm almost certain that the new order will be cancelled as soon as they get to the fax.


• station slowdown
  nothing more annoying than wasting an hour trying to get the computer working when you're on the very last legs of a project that's been dragging for months...


• finished
  ... and nothing more satisfying than seeing it all work out first test. it's finally over ^_^


• woodwork and velcro
  i remembered to do some hardware shopping while the store was still open, sometime soon i'll find out if i made a decent purchase regarding the mini-hacksaw and file.


• choc sauce recipe
  okay, i've had this sense of wonder the last few days: deep down i can't really believe that my life's so perfectly in order. i'm perpetually looking for holes and i'm terrified that i might get used to it.


• vaad bait
  we're only a year late in paying our maintenance levy, but pay it we did.


• nap traded for crimsonland
  i had no choice.


• too far, too fast; deep heat can die
  too much training. while i was working my calves i began yawning uncontrollably, and when i moved to shoulder exercises my eyes lost focus for a set. i'm not sore - just very tired. so i stopped there, stretched out, discovered that the cute ass i'd been staring at for an hour wasn't owned by as cute a face, and left with the kid for a repeat dinner.
  the deep heat congealed into a gross pulp that smelled just like the real thing. i didn't know there was an expiry date.
