Musings of a Yankee

Thoughts on a Sunday

Back to work after being gone for a week. Spent the last week in Santa Fe attending a photographic workshop.

Thoughts on a Sunday: Pre-Sunday edition

Sunday I will be traveling to Santa Fe for a six day photographic workshop. Since I'll be too busy with the workshop from Sunday afternoon on through the following Saturday, I figured that now would be a good time for the mostly weekly ToaS posting.

Thoughts on a Sunday: Monday graveyard edition

My rotating shift is such that once every five weeks I end up doing a week of graveyard shifts (11:45 PM - 7:45 AM). In the spring semester, it so happened that my vacation requests for Spring Break and the week of my senior thesis presentation happened to fall on my regularly scheduled graveyard shift and as a result of taking vacation I didn't do it.

I think that this is the first full week of graveyards I've done since the beginning of the year. No, I take that back - did one in May.

123456789

Twice today (or only once if you go strictly by military time) was a special moment when the clock read:

12:34:56 for the date 7/8/9.

While technically it is 7/8/09, "0" means nothing and can be ignored.

Of course, for those of us who were in the military, today was 8JUL2009, and not 7/8/9 (or even 7/8/09).

Thoughts on a Sunday: Monday evening edition

Some belated ToaS thoughts that should have been included in last week's ToaS.

Virtuality : Ghod, it sucked. Really, really, sucked. Kinda like the vacuum of space trying to suck the commander out the airlock. That is how hard it sucked. I wasted two hours of my life watching this dreck when I could have been doing something more productive like, oh, having bloody diarreha. The only thing cool about it was the design of the ship. But even that wasn't enough to save it.

There was something else I was going to expound upon that I left out of last week's ToaS, but I forget now what it was about...

Onto this week's belated ToaS...
