Ugh. What a week. I've been stupidly busy trying to learn all of our QA/QC procedures down here, in addition to familiarizing myself with the equipment we use for the large jobs down here that are virtually nonexistant in Canada. It's going quite well - the first day was chaotic but I think I've got most of the details pegged now.The brutal part about the week has been the cold that I came down with on Tuesday. I should have probably expected it, but it still took me by surprise. Long days (typically getting back home no earlier than 8 pm) combined with little sleep were doing wonders for my sanity. I spent the weekend inside to recover. While this would normally be a sensable precaution, a severe lack of entertainment options nearly did me in. The only books I had were for the APEGGA exam - dry reading at the best of times, which the weekend was not. No internet access (otherwise I would have updated this sooner) left me with little else to resort to but daytime television.
The horror.
At least the Food Network down here hasn't resorted to showing restaurant renovation shows for 90% of their content. Between that and Discovery channel I was able to survive - barely.
So here I sit in the lab at work. We can't work until later this afternoon, since that's the soonest we'll have fluid samples for tomorrow's well. This morning promises to pass by very slowly...

I tells ya... take up knitting.
Glad to hear you finally made it there !! Just wanted to say Hi. Hope you're feeling better soon.
You might want to be careful about taking up knitting down there... I hear that men who have such skills are highly sought after by other men who possess such skills...
And I keeps reminding ya.

I'll just stick to cooking thanks. It requires more space and equipment, but significantly less manual dexterity.
Nonsense, Steve. Knitting requires less manual dexterity than julienning a carrot or making an omelette, and there's less potential to hurt yourself.
If we visit you in Arkansas (or if you need a break and come to California), you'll be knitting by the end of the visit.

But cutting and burning myself is how I tell that I'm alive!
Speaking of being alive...DAY WATCH has been spotted at Chapters/Coles.
Look for it. You know you want it ;-)
Yah, Steve. Take up knitting. It's a very manly thing to do. Really.
