Boooze

I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve had way too much booze this week, and really should cut back. Drastically.

Sunday I had a tasty mixed drink with halfprice. Monday I went out and bought a huge bottle of Bailey’s that I’ve been chipping away at on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and today. Thursday was a company meeting that featured an open bar; I had 4 large mixed drinks there (in under an hour, which was probably a little too fast). Yesterday I had also some beer at the weekly team meeting.

Resolution: Starting tomorrow, I won’t have any booze for a week… possibly more. This is probably a good idea.

Relatedly, I still haven’t really been drunk. I got a little tipsy on Thursday (Greg can vouch), but I think I got much better rather quickly (within an hour and a half of being done with drinking). I guess I handle alcohol well… that’s good at least.

Work and life are both going well. I guess generally, if I’m not writing about work, it’s going well. I tend to only write about things when I have complaints, I guess. Wheee.

Today was gross and drizzly… appropriate weather, I guess.

Work hasn’t been going nearly as well as I’d like. I’m starting to get results back now from my first real task (that took about twice as long as estimated), and it looks like I missed the goal… meaning that I didn’t really finish the task after all, despite taking over half a week to do it. Blah.
I also generally feel like I’m having much more trouble understanding the code that I really should be.

Meh.
I want things to be simple again, like they were this weekend or last semester.

The weekend summarized in snapshots.
(Lots of photos!)


























After all that was halfprice tastiness at Fuel (they have awesome mixed drinks there!). Today was flight home. My plane arrived 50 minutes early into Las Vegas, turning a 2 hour layover into a 3 hour layover… but besides that, the trip was uneventful. Final tally of of airline abuse to the ceramics and glass I packed to bring back here: two of eight glasses broken and one of six small ceramic plates broken. Everything else survived, amazingly (including the giant Costco bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and soap as well as all the dinner plates, all the bowls, and all the silverware and knives). Huzzah.

Best weekend in a long time. Thanks again to teh Ben and Jon for picking me up at the airport.

I might eventually sort through the photos again and post some of the more portrait-like ones in portraits and/or a reselection of photos from the weekend in photos2. Would anyone be potentially intested in this? I think I’m just feeling photo deprived (besides the beach trip with brewer and dkb, this is the first serious use my camera has gotten since leaving CMU).

Tomorrow is work. Blah.

Surprise flowers delivered to your workplace’s reception and picked up with a huge surprised smile on your face == amazing.

Best. Valentine’s. Ever.

How did I ever get so lucky? :)

Also, my new dentist is awesome. No more painful manual scraping with metal picks FTW.
