It wasn’t that bad at work today – for a Monday. I am getting really tired. I have a 730 meeting in the morning and then work 11a-9p and then I go back and work 7a-5p of Wednesday. Frances is ready to kill me for working so much, but we are still short staffed.
Lauren called me all excited at 910am. I knew what she was calling about as I had been tracking my new MacBook Pro from Shanghai. It is really amazing that I could watch it’s journey across the world. I let her open it and register it. She loved it – she loves that my old Powerbook is now hers though too. I really love this new laptop. It is so much faster than my old one and the new screen is awesome. It is so bright and so easily adjustable to the appropriate brightness. I find myself turning the brightness down some to match my old Powerbook.
We’ve gotten everything laid out that we want to take. I’ll pack it all into the suticases tomorrow night. We are trying to leave before 7pm so that we don’t get into Pittsburgh too late on Wednesday.
I talked to Kristin (well we IMed) each other tonight. She was really busy over the weekend working on the shuttle launch. She’s doing a summer internship in Houston working for Boeing at NASA. Her job has been to monitor the weather and it’s affects on the flight aerodynamics and such.
