My parents were in town for a week and, after that, Nina was up for the weekend. I owe her some serious attention after taking the last 3 months worth of weekends to train for Rainier, so I haven't been spending much time on the computer. In the meantime, I've had a hardware development project dumped in my lap at work which I have to get done in six weeks. So I'm going to be pretty busy at work for the foreseeable future. Wheee!

I remember having this idea that, once I finished graduate school, the insane workload and unreasonable schedules would come to an abrupt end. I was somewhat younger and considerably more naive at the time.
