Things got better shortly after my morning post. I eventually woke up and got several new tasks to keep me busy. Spent a few hours getting production records ready to send to storage then worked process flows. Not exciting stuff but it was new and the time passed pretty quickly. Today I’ve got more of the storage prep and lots of process flow type stuff. I’ve got to the finish the one I started yesterday then work on creating a few others. Again, not exciting but it should be time to go home before I know it. Plus I have the option of free lunch at some new hire thing (yay for being an intern – you’re considered a new hire every time you return from school).
My parents left last night. I enjoyed their time here but it had gotten to the point where I was out of ideas for what they could do and I was longing for some time to myself. We’ll see them next in Florida for Christmas.
Saturday we leave for a whirlwind tour of the Mid-Atlantic states. Seeing family in Baltimore, Philly for King Tut/meeting up with Brianna, Steph’s wedding, Fell’s Point with Maegan and Jeremy, steamed crabs, and Restaurant Week. It’ll be fun but not exactly a vacation with all of the running around we’ll be doing. Yes, I will take far too many photos and post a link to them upon my return. May even snap some at the airport if the mood strikes me.
I’m hoping to hit a few yarn stores on our trip though I really don’t need any more yarn. I’ve got a thing of Cascade 200 and a thing of Koigu that have no purpose chosen yet. Plus there’s the dishcloth yarn that has a purpose but hasn’t been touched. Must remember to pick up Mason Dixon knitting from the library this afternoon. Note to self: Take photos of newly acquired stash and WIPs (and FOs if I finish Calorimetry) upon return.
One final note: it’s a very small world. I got added by someone on Ravelry who was a fellow knitting engineer. Cool, I thought, I’m not alone. Then I got a message informing me that this user was Anastasia. She goes to the same school as my husband, participates in FIRST, and is involved with SWE. I actually ran into her at the SWE national conference a few years ago in Anaheim. I’ve always admired her knitting, especially when she worked on it during FIRST meetings while still paying attention to the discussion. Very happy to have gotten in touch with her again. (Hi, Anastasia!)
Post title comes from a Dido song, if you were curious.
