They had to lay over in Japan for several weeks because that very inaptly named ocean was angry. I read earlier that they very nearly had to scrub the entire mission. Looks like they caught a lucky window.
Sounds like my past week with report writing. All nighters on Sunday & Tuesday, 2 in 3 daze. Likely explains some recent disconnects in my posts. I'm getting too freakin' old for this shit.
/ checks to make sure 55 gallon drum of DEET has arrived in Fairbanks. A must-have with 2-weeks of inspections starting on Tuesday.
Good times. I’m not doing all-nighters, just working 6 or 7 days a week to the point where I feel I have the flu, then try to get more sleep. Lather rinse repeat. It’s fun, though.
Same here – my summers are all work until August… Child wrangling.
FUCKKKKKKK I just got rejected for a proposal at ASHE. I'm NEVER gonna find a job with this PhD. THey need a brewery tech at the local brewery. I should apply.
My best friend from grad school, a guy in her lab defended his thesis in biochem, then went to work at a bakery the next day.I sent out 26 resumés at the end of grad school, got 2 job offers. That was in 2000, right when the intertubes economy bubble collapsed.It never gets any easier, man! Hopefully it stays or gets more interesting. Sorry about the rejection. ASHE?If you wanna get your resumé to me via the folks here I could see if know folks with a fit- I know a lot of people on the left coast in colleges and high tech.
Thanks – The thing is I *have* a great job, the kind that people always ask me how I got – because they want one. But I feel like I'm not living up to my potential, or something. Shit, I dunno. I just want to live somewhere other than the capital of the confederacy. And so does MsAnthrope. And, she tells me they take advantage of me in my job, which would likely happen anywhere (True quote, my former CEO told me – "We get you cheap") If I have enough money to fund my habits, I don't really care about the volume of work. Again, I dunno. I never thought I'd live this long anyway.
Hah! Nice! I think of the line in Broadcast News:“I feel like I’m slipping- but do the people who are really slipping feel this way, or is it only the really great people, who only think they’re slipping, because their standards are so high?”Dude, if you have a good job with good people, you’re amongst the lucky ones. Then again, I’m trying to get my own company going because I’m convinced I can do better with that than the places I’ve worked in the last 5 years. Also, always good to have your antennae out- I had a great job for 5 years prior to the above, and the idiots took over and ruined it. It can happen.I agree if you can pay the bills and do something you love, you’ve got the system beat- but you sound like me, you can’t stay comfortable in one place for long anyway.
Did the attractive stewardesses serve Martinis at appropriate points in the flight? Were the bathrooms immaculate, with plenty of paper towels? What movies did they show? How was the in-flight Duty Free Shopping?
Leave it to the-called "professional journalists" at the Guardian miss half the story.
“There’s a lot of uncertainty at the end; we cannot know everything,” said Piccard, before the flight took off on Monday.
I'm actually amazed they could find a long enough window of decent weather in that part of the Pacific.

When will we learn that appeasement doesn't work? Now that fucking ocean has taken over almost half the world!
THANKS OBAMA
GP, was he using your battery?
Soon, my friend, soon.
Why do they hate refueling stations? It's a job killer!
I'd love to see a midair battery transfer.
If only there was some kind of battery that used air…|if only |…
Edit. Damn- it is not "an all solid state battery", at least not the ones I'm making. Time for my second wikipedia edit…
72 hours straight with almost no sleep? It's like finals week in a plane!

Admirable understatement!
Yeah, until Reagan deregulated the airlines.
Actually the one's on Carter. Reagan busted the ATC union.
Thanks Obama.
