Receiving the fisheye...
Dec. 6th, 2003 11:19 pm...from Lily. She is perched on top of the monitor and giving me this look.
The sound of my fingers on the keyboard, however, were enough to drive the poor animal away.
The space-to-ground shift went by smoothly today; it was my first opportunity to work with Olga B. Most of the crew's time during my shift's portion of the day was spent doing an experiment to study the crystal structure of a state of matter called plasma, where said structures apparently only occur under microgravity conditions (or what is more commonly referred to as "weightlessness"). Although we were not able to view the video downlink, apparently everything went well, with the experimenters in Moscow giving the crew a blow-by-blow description that was one long series of comments along the lines of "Beautiful!" and "Great stuff!"
Natalie was out of the house by the time I got home, apparently visiting a friend after having studied for finals earlier in the day. I ate a disorganized dinner and tried to watch some DVDs, but my heart was just not in it. I lay down to read and fell asleep for a couple of hours, I guess, until Natalie called to say she was on her way home. She came home a little while ago and is washing dishes in the kitchen.
So it's been a fairly quiet Saturday, in other words.
A client has sent me a 30,000 source-word document and wants to know how much of it I can do by next Friday. I probably should have spent more time than I did figuring that out, but all through the day, I simply was not in a mood to attack the problem, which may be indicative of how much I can commit to over the course of the next week.
Things'll look better in the morning, I'm sure.
Cheers...
