YAY!
The Shuttle is up again after 2+ years of a suspended space program! I have to admit that because I grew up in the shadow of NASA, I still get a nice warm feeling when I see a launch.
I saw on MSNBC that the external tank collided with a bird on the way out...You have to feel sorry for that. A bird getting hit at 2000 MPH and the last thought is "Hey what is that thing?"
...Say a hopeful wish for a safe landing...

Sunday, Sunday Sunday!...
Went and did the whole sing for Jesus thing this morning. It's still a bit on the tense side since they have started telling me what to wear, but we did get a new priest (an Irish fellow with a keen sense of humor) who hopefully will get the administration to freakin relax!
Also, went to the museums today to see the baseball exhibit from Cooperstown, and the Lord of the Rings exhibit, which were both pretty cool. I always find it neat to see movie props and in the case of LOTR, they really went all out to make them as realistic as possible. I also found it interesting that the characters were almost presented as real or historical. Things like "this is the armor of the eleven race" and stuff like that. They also had interactive exhibits where they showed examples of motion capture and camera tricks, and a wall that would tell you what race from middle earth you would be based on your height (I'm an elf).
There were a few visitors who came in costume, and I have to admit , I do find it a bit on the creepy side, but to each his own I guess.
...They probably think I look funny...

More Office Drama...
We had 2 people quit this week, and we have 2 new people starting on Tuesday...
One of the ex employees is moving to New York City, which he just decided after a recent vacation there. He only worked for us for 6 months, and was known as "that guy" in the office, you know the one who is, I dunno, a little Off? I liked him though, in terms of personal entertainment value, but I was under the impression he was not a "model employee" so to speak.
The other one was recruited by a former professor (sounds like a familiar story, eh?) and he had only worked for us a month. He was lured away by the promise of being transferred to Las Vegas, where his brother lives. It will be interesting to see if that happens. I think he was scared of us.
In between all this we had our yearly reviews, which went well for everyone, and my boss went on vacation, which was good for me, because I got to go out and actually see my project being built for a change, even though I am in charge of this project, I don't get to go to the site as much as I think I should, because I think you have to see how things are done to know how to tell other people how to do them. I have seen and done a few things before but that hasn't been enough to be able to confidently tell people how to do things when they do it for a living.
....Responsibility is HARD! 'doh!
