what day is it?

Work is progressing though it’s been really busy lately. I put in crazy hours and I like to hope there’s an end in sight. It’s going to be getting more difficult for a little while moving forward though as I’m losing the Project Manager for our main upcoming deployment though.

Not much new on the Ryen/Renell front I guess it’s something that the whole mess has kind of stabilized, but really, I don’t feel any better about it. I’ve been listening lately to a bunch of public lectures put to audio and podcast by WGBH (the PBS Boston people that do a lot of work with things like This Old House, Antique’s Roadshow, etc.) There was one I was just listening to called On Apology done by a guy named Aaron Lazare that was pretty good. At the moment it’s shaping the way I look at the whole crap pile.

In the mean time, the kam speech people leave for nationals tomorrow morning. Or later today depending on how you look at it. Best of luck to them. Hopefully they do okay. There’s apparently some pretty big dust up going on between kam and HSL, I don’t have all the details. I’ll hold off judgment until I get a chance to talk to Walter I suppose. I’ve heard bits and pieces but I’m not sure of real impact just yet.

Sleep is, of course, evasive as always. I guess I have too many things on my head to fully let myself rest. That and it’s really fucking hot. I mean damn, I’m baking right now and I’m only in a t-shirt and boxers. It’s just too damn hot. And the noise from the AC keeps me up too. Go figure. The interesting part that I guess I knew before and have come to realize again is that when I get tired I have significantly less inhibition. I’m usually pretty reserved, but lately I’m just too tired to care about a lot of shit. Interesting really.
