How's Your Day Going?

[bullet08]

Got up way too early for my sanity. Dropped the younger one at his campus. He insists on commuting to campus. He loved campus last year, but he wants his own bed than dorm room. He refused to drive for longest time. Now he wants a car. So, I'm monitoring his driving. He's in campus most of the day and night, so only thing he's saving is room cost. Driving me nuts.

Came home trying to go back to sleep. Wife wants me to check on the family business. Did 1.5 hrs of driving. Finally started taking a nap.

Wife wakes me up, so I can go pick up Subway for lunch. Came home to dogs barking, and wife on conf. call. Pick the dogs up and stayed with dogs in a room.

Wife calls out "what happened to internet?" Well, no connection to Internet. Checked the modem and no power. Checked lights, and no power. Gets a text from the power company that power will be out till 1615.

Wife calls out "active shooter in younger one's campus!" Text him and he's fine. Whole city's in lock down it seems.

Too much excitement in a day and that was before 1300.

Sounds like it may be time to hit the porch with a pipe and an adult beverage.

I was going to say the same thing. You may need some down time with a pipe and some good tobacco. Hang in there, I'm glad your son is safe.

Been up since 0200. Got the kids ready for school, weeded the pumpkins, bathed the dogs, ate a pizza, showered, and now I'm at work. Not a bad day at all.....yet.

Chores done, dawg is happy so, a good day indeed.

You do for the kids while you got 'em, in the hope that they pick a great rest home for you when the time comes. Oh, and not visit too often. When you hear them talking wills and dividing your property amongst themselves well ... you'll know you did well.

Started a new AI shopping accelerator design today, big project for work, turns out it's all off-shore (a hazard of working for a giant company) so the PM set the kick-off and knowledge transfer meeting at the last minute for 5:30 am, invites when out at 4am, then apologized to me at 8am when i logged in because "oh sorry timezone issues". Going to be a swell project i can tell already.

Oh well payday is this week, we have a short week next week and i booked a room and bought plane tickets for an annual cigar herf with friends in SoCal 3rd week of October. Ups and downs.

Turned out, it seemed like a targeted shooting. One faculty member was killed, and possible suspect was arrested. Thank god it wasn't another crazy going mow down mode. I mean, sad for the faculty member and his/her family. But didn't know that person. And if that faculty member was like my graduate school advisor and faculty.. Still a bad situation.
