Howdy y'all...
Today is Friday, marking the last day of my first week at National.
I survived! Well, I will have once today is over.
I spent the entire time learning LabView (our basic high-end interface to our "stuff"), going to meetings (
The computer I have is _sweet_. Dual processor, 3GHz, 1G RAM, 100G or so HD... ahhhh....
Of course, my test computer is crap. PII 266, 128M RAM. Feeble.
It may be a while before anything interesting happens to report here, but heck, I'll try to keep logging in even if its a report on how there is nothing to report. I realized I could take five minutes in the morning _from work_ to do this! Woo!
Today is Friday the 13th, which is something of a special day for me and Marla. Our first official "date" was on a Friday the 13th in October (except, wasn't the movie _Best in Show_ before this? I memory for time is terrible). And of course, tomorrow is Valentine's day.
So tonight we have a three-pronged celebration dinner. For our mini-anniversary, for my landing this great new job, and for Valentine's.
We don't celebrate the big V on the 14th, because it's far too crowded out in the world. Who wants to have a romantic evening out with all of Austin, joggling elbows as we wait for an hour for a table at an overcrowded restaurant?
This weekend, with any luck, I can study two more chapters of Anthropology, go to the Permanent Halloween Committee (PHC) meeting for Haunted Trails, finish chapter 6, get will into chapter 7, and, ummm, something else, too, I think. Maybe.
Wish me luck.
