my own worst enemy

Positive Wednesday

Wednesday, October 12, 2005

"Positive Wednesday" is a term my band director in high school used to mark the middle of band camp. He would go around all day saying it in a clown-like voice, something like, "It's Poooooos-itive WEDNESDAY!!" I'm pretty sure the old coot was crazy.

But the point of all this was that today was indeed a Positive Wednesday. Let's go over why.

1. I actually got to do something engineering-related at work today.

Okay, okay, so I'm a big nerd. But let's think about it this way. Imagine that your boss asked you to do addition and subtraction problems for three and a half months. Not even multiplication or division, just super-simple stuff. That's the way I feel when the hardest thing they throw at me is editing Word documents. Getting to listen to a briefing about the stuff I spent six years studying was a God-send.

2. I found out I get to go back to Cali soon (and stay!)

Since July I have only slept in my own bed about 20 nights. For a $1000 bed, that's pretty shitty return on investment. While nothing is set in stone yet, wheels are in motion to ensure that this is no longer the case come November.

3. Episode 3 of Lost

So apparently people record TV shows and distribute them online through a free software package called BitTorrent. Brilliant! Even Booter's inability to record correctly will not keep me from seeing Episode 3. Oose.

4. My bike is fixed!

After a week and a half in the shop, my bike is in tip-top shape. Now I have something to do during my last few nights in DC (when Jism is incapacitated).

5. Episode 4 of Lost and Amber Bock

'Nuff said.
