so excel decided to give me crap this morning and instead of moving from cell to cell, reconfigured the arrow keys to scroll up and down the sheet. bastard microsoft. after trying in vain to find some option that magically set itself, i restarted the computer. excel worked normally again. sigh. stupid computer.
spaceflight meteorology is supposed to give us uncertainty values for their final rev of the columbia atmosphere today. i won’t be surprised if we don’t get them. apparently reading weather balloons and satellites is harder than i thought.
oh, the times they are a-changin’.
we had volleyball again last night, but didn’t play as well as last week. i don’t really know why, but instead of losing gracefully, we got totally creamed. i didn’t play as well as i should have, but that wasn’t entirely it. i think our team needs to work on communication and calling the ball (and i’m as guilty as any of us when it comes to that). that, and we need a consistent set of six people. when we just play with whoever happens to be able to sub, it’s hard to work as a team.
anyway. i’m tired. i want to go home. i feel burned out on work.
the presentation that gavin and i gave yesterday went pretty well. i could have done a better job of explaining how the shaping of our general footprint was done, but other than that i think we were fine. because he’s the team lead, rich usually does all the presenting, so i enjoyed the chance to explain all the work i’ve been doing for the past two and a half months. the audience was dead though; we expected them to have lots of questions, and they had only two. in any case, ron (my boss’s boss’s boss) told me today at lunch that we did a good job, so that was nice.
no big plans for tonight. i plan on running some errands and then spending a quiet evening at home.
