thursday: sigh.

Well, today didn't go as well as I was hoping. I goofed something up in the morning and just felt bad about it. Nothing I could do about it though except learn from it. Still felt like an idiot.

We also won't be able to finish the project tomorrow. Reason 1) we are still missing one part. Reason 2) some things that I was hoping would go quickly today didn't. The new goal is Monday. At least we're changing the estimate by days instead of weeks now.

Oh, yesterday was our one year anniversary of working at Lockheed.

I'm raiding tonight but am not really sure I want to. Last week was fun, so maybe I'll be surprised.

Wednesday: Travis

Travis stopped by tonight. That was nice. We didn't do anything special, but a I hear a lot of laughter coming from the basement at one point.

I'm still optimistic that my project will finish on time. We'll see how today goes. :)

Tuesday: bonfire

Today I went to a bonfire with people from Bible Study. We've skipped the last two weeks so it was fun to see people again. The best part was when the girls were talking by a swing (away from the fire) and Stephanie threw a flip-flop. The other three girls all jumped back while still trying to keep their drinks from spilling. The expressions were priceless.

I'm still hopeful of finishing my work project on time. I didn't get quite as far today as I was hoping, but we still got far enough that it is still possible. It was actually an amazingly smooth day for once. One tooling issue from yesterday magically resolved itself and the problem with the drawing was an "easy fix." Hopefully tomorrow goes as well!

Monday: Lightning bugs

We have our very own lightning bugs in our yard! I guess I don't get out much at night to see them, but there is something about the little critters. Seeing one just gets me all excited.

Not quite as much progress was made today as I had hoped, but we made enough that I am still hopeful.

Sunday

Today we decided to just stay at home and enjoy the day. We did do some chores, but also just enjoyed not being at work. There was a wonderful rain storm.

Saturday: air show

The airshow today was mostly fun. It was hot, but we were able to sit in the shadow of an airplane for most of it which helped a ton. It was mostly antique aircraft, but an F16 came for a little bit to show of it's "exceptional maneuvering capability." There were also a bunch of acrobatics that were cool to watch too.

Thursday: well, tomorrow's a new day

Well, I've had better days, although really only a small percent of the day wasn't great. And one problem was fixed and the other has hopes of being fixed tomorrow. Well, only two major problems today. We won't mention the normal problems that happen in the course of a normal day lately. Those are considered challenges and I guess are what make the job fun. My goal is to get a project done by next Friday. Don't worry, I'll keep you posted.

But I digress. The most exciting thing of the day had to do with those two airshow tickets I mentioned. I thought someone was just trying to get rid of them and encourage aircraft love. But it turns out that the guy ended up saying they were for my hard work on the project and I got congrats from my boss and my boss' boss. The other good thing about the airshow is I'll have something to take a picture of again.

I'm raiding tonight. We'll see how well it goes. I've been significantly cutting back since my last WoW post.
