Five Events Make a Week
Oct. 29th, 2009 10:48 pmDear universe: the ringback is another sign of the decline of America.
A question for techies: why do files occasionally just disappear off my external hard drives? Both of them? The entire point of having files in two places is so that when something happens to the music on one drive it's still there on the other drive, and then I have awesome music when I'm at a lab bench.
Highlights of this week include touching the ABI machines, and figuring out that to get people to do what you want you have to talk to people, or occasionally more than one person, or occasionally people's bosses. And that is how I scored overtime authorization for Saturday.
Roommate M.: "I could do this all day."
Me: "Stare at pictures of your hot boyfriend?"
Roommate M.: "Yes."
Tonight M. and I and our laptops are sharing kitchen table space with two pans of brownies. The survivors go to my work's Halloween potluck tomorrow. Either my oven runs cool or the recipe is 25 C too low; the first pan is under-baked. What a shame if my roommates and I have to keep the first pan. Terrible, I say.
