Beginning to burn in some zu wax cables on the 2 channel setup.

spent 2 hours on/off phone trying to get the nav in the car to sink with the sattelite. (w/ car outside, in an open area, stationary + engine on)

Did a "ride in" at Bill Mayer Saddles. The stock saddle on the Suzuki DRZ-400S is a torture device. I'll post pics later in the "last thing you bought" thread.

Got my Myers-Briggs analysis back. I am (still) an INTJ and my marked propensities are for tenderness and procrastination. So I guess if you ever need someone to promise to hold you and then never get around to it, I'm your man.

Also made Irish stew, which I'm now eating.

Been sick all day. I think I caught the 'flu from head-case. DAMN YOU ALL!

I feel for you. I'm happy to be on the other side of it even if I'm still not 100%.

Left work early as I've seem to have gotten the stomach that's been going around my school the past two weeks or so. I really should be taking a nap right now.

Had a mini 3 hour course on Dale Carnegie's methods on public speaking

now time to take a nap

Had an off day in the lab. After finding out in the morning that my overnight experiment (and thus the past two weeks of work) were a loss, I managed to get flaming ethanol on my (gloved) hands not once, nor twice, but thrice. On the second attempt I also managed to get flaming ethanol on the plastic gas tubing that feeds the bunsen burner and almost melted it through...

Thank goodness it's time to go home.

Rented a concrete saw to cut sections out of a slab to plumb for a bathroom addition.

Concrete saw cuts to a 6" depth. Great, as most slabs are 4" - 6" thick.

I cut past the 12" footing only to find the slab decreases by one whole inch.

Who the fuck poors an 11" slab?

I don't know what brilliant mind poured the slab, but that emoticon is cracking me up.

Well then steal his hulk smash to get through that slab.

Watched and listened to a 45 minute advertisement disguised as a Webinar for "Jacket" (Matlab/Cuda bridge software).

Day-dreamed about the DynaFet at work

I worked 15 hours without a freaking minute break. I'm really tired of crazy people. I say in the ocean with them all!

Officially setup and tested the Nugget Audio Amplification Benchmark facility. In other words, tested the new M-Audio DAC and dummy load running the RMAA software suite. I'm sure I have a few things to tweak properly but it looks reasonably correct running the standard loop-back baseline.

Oh, and what's worse than crazy people? Crazy people's families. I'm really really tired of crazy people's families and crazy people's attorneys and crazy people's trust officers, and crazy people's fucking p.o. officers, and crazy goddamn therapists that make crazy money off of keeping people sick and dependent upon them so they can keep billing them for years and then want to tell you what your job is because you're busy trying to get the crazy ass patient to just get their fucking life together and out of therapy....oh and the fucking crazy psychiatrists that are crazier than the crazy people......etc.

In other words, I've been on my best behavior all week long while dealing with all of the above. Come to think of it, I've been the poster child for patience and professionalism. It's unnatural.

you need a vacation. Come out to Southern California

let it out, just don't let them wear off on you.

I feel much better now. Thanks.

Actually, I love my job, and have a bizarrely accumulated skills set that makes me particularly well suited to handle all of the above. Go figure.
