A blip in the schedule...

alexpgpBeen coming in at midnight for a while, but everyone's getting ready for the upcoming launch and docking of a new Progress cargo vehicle, with said docking to occur this weekend, thereby causing a major disruption of the crew's (and mine and Olga's) sleep schedule. But the schedule called for us to be here at 11 pm tonight, and so here I am.
We go back to a midnight start tomorrow, and follow the schedule we've become accusomted to, until Saturday, when we come in at midnight, go home at 5:15 in the morning, and then come back just over 12 hours later to start a 12-hour shift. (My eyes are crossing a little as I write this... yikes!)
But unless I miss my guess, I'll be through with this space-to-ground gig at 5:15 am on Saturday.
* * * My ISP has a Web mail system with, it turns out, one majorly nasty quirk: it refreshes every few minutes. I found this out while I was 95% of the way through a list of 500 emails (of which only 493 were spam... ye gods), where I had initially hit the dingus to "select all" the messages and had been paging through the list, unchecking the stuff I wanted to keep. After the refresh, all the messages were unchecked, which may have resulted in my startling the neighbors with some crude language. I managed to finish the procedure the second time through, knowing I was under time pressure.
I'm moving my on-the-road email to the Zaurus, though the built-in email application is really quite horrid and underpowered. Something must be done.
Anyway, I should probably go pick up the documents for the day from the printer and review them. If you know what to look for, the review makes the job go a lot easier.
Cheers...
