Vacation again
It gets harder and harder to stay recharged after vacations these days, so we're heading out again, this time for a week in DC. We'll visit family, we'll visit all the fun kid spots, like the Holocaust Museum, the Vietnam Memorial... Not really interested in seeing the White House, though, until after they fumigate the place in 2009.
When I get back, I'll disappear into a work hidey hole for a few weeks. The critical performance tuning that I've been wanting to do for 6 months now, but which was never considered my most important task, has now suddenly become the most important thing in the universe to a lot of people. Every company, it's the same story..."that's not really a priority...that's not really a priority...that's not really a priority...OH MY GOD IT'S A DISASTER CAN YOU HAVE IT DONE BY TOMORROW?"
Sigh...Oh well, at least I get to work on something interesting. And there's that money thing.
I saw a guy mowing the grass at the DPS last week, just driving a big tractor around in the sun, and I was envious.
But then there's that money thing.
I'll have my laptop with me all week, so do lots of blogging and emailing in case I get lonely.
