Procrastinating

Well, I'm here looking to procrastinate a little from doing the more important activity of studying. Today has not been much of a study day anyway. Filled with chores and such. You know - that living thing. There was no studying yesterday either. See these wayward travelers from Finland are here again assisting us [at work] in commissioning this new tool. They have been here since Tuesday and will leave Tuesday morning. There have been a number of problems for which most have been worked through. We worked all day yesterday. From 8:30 to 7:30. And no lunch break for me. Total disaster I tell you. If you are like me, food MUST happen on a regular basis. There is flexibility on the specific time that that happens, but it must happen several times a day. Oh well - I lived. Very nice people I tell you. I think I may have angered them in doing something earlier than expected yesterday. High probability that it was a communication misunderstanding. Disappointed I am, but oh well. Things worked out.

I'm listing to a radio program that just ended called The Prairie Home Companion on the local Public Radio station. The host was telling a story [unknown if it is true or fictitious] about a couple at an airport in which the husband was preparing to fly to visit the wives sister. An argument broke out regarding whether the husband was really looking forward to seeing her sister. The wife expected a truthful answer on the spot. The announcer inserted the following comment: [regarding relationships] from a mans perspective, seeking the truth is a lifelong quest. How funny - and probably rather truthful.

Well now time for little surprise. I almost didn't think I was going to be able to post this little tid-bit as I was having difficulty in signing in to Photobucket. Anyways, I stayed late to do a favor for a person at work on Thursday. When I showed up Friday morning . . .

THIS little surprise was on my desk.

How nice of him. First one to have done something like this. I've done many favors of this nature and most seem grateful on the one hand, but on the other hand, seems as if the mental attitude is like "about time" if you know what I mean. Again, a very nice gesture indeed.

Well, time to get back to it. I just finished some popcorn and will now down a half PB-n-J. Should set me up for the rest of the night. And if you are out there Chris, I got your phone message. Sorry I'm a bit reclusive at the moment. On the plus side, only two more weeks of regular classes and then finals. Will have finals on Monday and Friday the week of May 13. Both running from 7:30 - 9:30 . . . A.M. Dear God. Pray for me . . .
