I am sitting at my GA job
trying to figure out what school I should apply to for my PhD; I have seven, and I fell like I need an eighth. Also figuring out if I should simply leave work early in order to get a workout in before I hang out with my wife all day long.

Same Sort Of Stuff...
Same Sort Of Stuff...
This morning has been dominated by a mysterious string of trouble orders that somehow keep getting directed to my department, where we sit here, look up the work, and then have the sad duty of informing customers that they need to call our lovely 800 number one more time. I also had to dig for the old specs on an installation we haven't approved in ages so I could help a customer maintenance their meter box. You can tell when they've been training new people in Customer Care - the number of strange requests or misdirected calls spikes.
This afternoon should be pretty quiet, which is good because two days of training this week set me behind on the volumes of data mining that I get paid well to do, so assuming that there are no emergencies arising from customer calls, I should be all caught up for the week before I leave today. I also need to compile a list of questions and concerns about some alterations to the order taking process here and present them downtown first thing on Monday.
The weekend will be spent outside, nursing beers and grilling things. Feel free to stop by. Don't ask me about work though.

To be fair to the "beer and grilling" portion, there is a generous supply of the following in the basement refrigerator:
- Paulaner
- Old Speckled Hen
- Angry Orchard Hard Cider
I also have an assortment of Argentinian wines graciously donated by my father because there was no room in the cellar. I might open a bottle or two as well.
I am going to experiment with my burger recipes this weekend, and my wife is probably mentally preparing for the possibility that one batch may contain diced jalepeno just for kicks...literally. I also have some ribs marinating in the kitchen refrigerator which I might have to cook tonight before I listen to another evening of "the place smells like Lea & Perrins".

On my way into work
Driving down 23 I saw a truck with a trailer pulled to the side of the road. About 100 feet behind them, there was a large pontoon boat sitting right on the highway. Apparently someone didn't tie it down well. I would have paid good money to see that go down.

Later this evening, I am going out for the first time since I moved to Northern Virgina. Nothing special, just a gathering of gym staff and members. However, I am curious to see what the smoking hot trainers look like outside of the gym.
