I understand

Some days it's easy to understand why so many service engineers take up smoking and drinking.
So much to see So much to do

It's been a busy couple weeks around here. Summer is in full fling with all the associated projects and outings and work is fun, but keeping me on my toes.
In no particular order here's what's been happening:
- Ollie is getting bigger. He's just over 4 months now and stands taller than Sophie and his head is about twice the size of hers. I'll have to post some more pictures and videos soon. We still don't have any idea what type of dog he is, but we have really been enjoying him.
- This weekend the fish club got together for a home show and competition. I volunteered to travel around with the group as a judge and we spent Saturday traveling all around the Seattle area. It was a lot of fun to meet everyone in their homes and get to see all the tanks they've been working on for so long. There was lots of amazing stuff out there.
- Beth and I finally had a weekend day off together. We went for a great little hike. The dogs were really pooped by the end.
- I've got a new boss at work. So far he seems to be getting along well.
- The media PC died last week so we haven't had the easy access to all our TV shows that we're used too. We ordered a new one and it's scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I still can't believe that the entire PC costs less than I paid for just the processor of the previous one. That, and it's going to be 4 or 5 times faster.
- Beth and I have bought our plane tickets to Europe. I've got some training in the Czech Republic in August, and this time Beth is going to come along. We're going to add a week of vacation on to the end of it and spend some time traveling around Austria as well.
Well, that's it for now. Get out there and enjoy the sun!

Packing up...March 23, 2009 by Patricia Byrne @ 10:54 am
I've been traveling around the world since...well, alone since I was sixteen. I have, in total, recieved six honest-to-god, handwritten letters during my entire time abroad. No packages.
It isn't that my family doesn't love me, we just don't have that "I need things from you" kind of relationship. So, imagine my surprise when, halfway through a class on Thai Language (where I figured out that my chances of saying what I want to say are astronomically small...five tones means that each word (if you managed to have the correct sounds) has only a 20% chance of being correct. Add words for smaller percentages. I think I came up with a nice, round .01% chance of anything I say being what I wanted to say) there were two packages in the corner and one was for myself and a good friend of mine on the same abroad trip.
