This week can’t end soon enough. Not because it’s been particularly difficult, but because it’s been early. I don’t know if I’ve ever been an early riser, but I do know that I haven’t been an early riser in the past 2-3 years, at least. I’m sure all this will change at some point in the rather far future when I finally have kids or a pet, but in the here and now, this week is wearing me out!
Take yesterday: In at 8:00 for a comp run in which we were unable to reproduce the software error we had during a sim, despite using the tape of the sim run, so it was more or less useless. Home at 5:30, which allowed just enough time for dinner before heading downtown to the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert at the Toyota Center (the tickets were Jose’s Valentine’s Day gift from me). Because I bought the tickets rather late, we ended up in the upper deck directly to the side of the stage. It was a different perspective, that’s for sure. I had a surprisingly good time (despite being only a casual fan) except for all my yawning. 😉
And take today: In at 7:45 for another comp run to do our database checks for tomorrow’s ILC (which means I’ll be in at 6:30 a.m. tomorrow). This afternoon I’m backseating Bini in a sim that doesn’t end until 8:00. That leaves me one hour for my run, and then I play softball at 9:00. Then I get home and crash.
And tomorrow: In at 6:30 for the load checkout, which will hopefully be less frustrating than the last time we did one where the simulator was 13,000 pounds off. The bright side is that by lunchtime tomorrow I’ll have enough hours for the week and can take the afternoon off!
Anyway, enough work talk. Too much work talk.
But there’s not much else to talk about. I know that my blog entries have been pretty boring lately; heck, they’ve been boring me. I’m in the last gasp before the Half Ironman and it’s reminiscent of the last month before my marathon two years ago — nothing but eat, sleep, work, run/swim/bike.
Maybe I’ll be more interesting when April rolls around…
