What are you doing right now?

[RootDKJ]

Drinking cup of coffee #1 before I hit the road for work. Day two of a new product trial in East Windsor, NJ. I was hoping to finish today, but I have a feeling that this isn't going to wrap on until Thursday, which sucks because I was planning on taking Thursday off. At least I finally feel like I kicked my head cold.

Looking at FEDEX to track shipments. My work computer and leash^h^h^h^h^h Blackberry are in Albany. Toys should be here around 11:00. All the HR crapola I filled out yesterday are in the belly of an airplane enroute to California.

I loathe my Blackberry.......indeed it is a leash, especially when you have a workaholic boss who punches in for 18 hours a day and expects immediate responses when he sends out emails at 10 at night.

I used to have that problem, then I spent some time making an "after work" profile on my BB. This sets incoming email and phone calls to mute, but I make exceptions for my family and friends and the co-workers I'll drink with.

I should be doing homework...but I'm having a hard time concentrating with the constant interruptions from the kids. I should be doing laundry... and cleaning, too.

Quickly enjoying my mid morning "refueling session" - the stomach been a rumbling mighty LOUD the last 15 min or so!

Back from Kindergarten orientation. A little disappointed in the lack of MLFy-ness there.

:roll: Your daughter is a cutie! Looks like it went well!

Between homework I've been researching activities for our 4-year-old. Looks like we might be trying to get her into soccer. And, of course, lessons @ Sundown this winter.

Mine starts Soccer tomorrow. I might check out Ski Ward for ski lessons for the kids. It's like 10 mins from the house and might be easier to run over for a couple hours rather than hit WA. WA now being a whole 40 mins away! ;-)

Just finished changing the oil and inspecting one of Stephen Kings vehicles. Ford escape hybrid.

I'll be doing my 1st MILFy survey at pick up tommorrow afternoon - today was my daughter's 1st day (although it's in the same Montessori School she was at last year - just moved across the hallway this year, so no big 1st day riding the yellow bus thing

Was it possessed? Or covered in blood?

[Madroch]

Waiting for car to finish being serviced, and deciding whether to spend an extra 65 bucks for 07 Rossi FKS bindings instead of 08 P12 for the Twisters....leaning heavily toward the PX12 as I think they will be more than durable enough and otherwise sufficient for my needs.

Really pissed at my corporate engineering team. They've been pushing me to run this product trial for a few weeks now, and recently pushed this issue with my VP so I caved. I origionally told them that I thought we're better off testing after labor day, but they wanted it before then.

Well low-and-behold...this thing really isn't ready for production deployment. This takes 4 hours to provision using tools and proceedures that nobody is trained on or ready for. The principal engineer (from corporate) knew this & came out here to do the test, just to prove to his management that this isn't ready. In doing so, he's wasting my time. I had planned on taking tomorrow off, but now his bosses want to come here and see 1st hand the problems and I've been told to accommodate them...

That sucks.

At least you're not going to miss a powder day tomorrow...

Reading about what made America ripe for the "final" revolution against England that actually took--the American Revolution. 52 pages down... 88 to go before next Tue night.

Is this pertaining to that meeting you had a few weeks back where you knew your proposal was right, the bosses agreed, but chose not to act on it???
