alexpgp | Hurrying up and waiting...

Given the opportunity in the future to upgrade a Linux system, I must make sure to start before 9:45 pm. There are still about 250 MB left in the process (of 1526 MB total, says the update screen).

* * *Tomorrow's telecon starts at 7:30 am and is scheduled for two hours. The agenda looks deceptively simple; it may go two hours, it may end after 20 minutes. The subject, "ground systems," doesn't ring any bells (as does, say, "acoustics," which causes chills to run up and down my spine... but not due to the subject matter :^). I got up at 5:30 am today for a 7 am telecon and made it with about 5 minutes to spare. Consequently, if I don't waste any time tomorrow morning, I ought to be able to get up at 6 am and make it to JSC by 7:30. (Just thinking - if you can call it that - on phosphor.)

* * *With any luck, I'll be able to get out a little early tomorrow, to go see Dr. Ngyuen and have him check my blood pressure.

* * *Drew faxed over some documents related to his enrollment with the Phoenix University Online. Something about having his employer (moi) reimburse him for his educational expenses. I don't really mind, if it gets him an education. I'll review them tomorrow morning.

* * *Client M left a strange message on my cell about... well, that's what the strangeness is about. I've sent an e-mail. Another client, T, called about a job, but I got back to them too late to snag it. I think I should give some serious thought to perhaps training Shannon or someone in a simple routine to check my voice mail on a regular basis.

* * *As I write this, there are a mere 25 MB left in the upgrade, but I'm not bucking for some kind of LJ masochism record.

* * *I'm outa here, until tomorrow.

Cheers...
