Friday Five – Loopy if I say so myself

1. Work/Programming
Busy busy busy at work. Yesterday I had lunch with my boss’s boss (who works out of the Florida office) and a bunch of the other San Francisco group that report up to her. One of the guys complained about how busy we are. I shushed him and reminded him that it’s better to be busy than not busy.. not busy leads to layoffs.

The other gal who was hired to be part of my group was snatched up by the CTO to work on his pet project. I kind of suspected something like this was coming last month when they moved her away from me (and the group we work with) to another floor. I hope she comes back to us in the future.. but I realize this is a great opportunity for her.

2. Home
We have a steadily growing pile of Pennsic stuff on the back porch. Tonight and tomorrow I think we’ll have everything all set to go. The Pennsic truck (which my honey is driving) leaves out on Tuesday morning.. but I still have another week after that before I fly to for Pennsic.

I’m not in a panic.. I just have a lot to do.

3. Health
I’m currently at LIW +1 lb. I’m not panic’d about it. Yesterday I had lunch out with the boss.. and then last night we went out and had dinner at a nearby Indian restaurant. Yummy yummy Indian food has been located in Santa Rosa (Torch of India). We will definitely go there again.

I’m feeling an urge to do a morning walk while I’m a Pennsic. Last year I did morning runs.. but I’m so out of touch with running right now I’m going to aim low and just aim for a daily walk. Anyone else at Pennsic want to join me?

The plan is to do a ~30 min to 1 hr street-clothes and gym shoes walk in the early morning (ie, 7-ish when it’s -not- hot).

4. SCA/Projects
I was able to borrow an industrial sewing machine from a friend in town and I replaced all of our tent stake loops. I’m thinking that since I currently have it, it would be a nice time to make a fitted ground cloth.. but I’m not sure if I can find the materials for it and finish that up before we have to load up the truck for the trip. Meh.

I have quite a few projects on my todo list. Luckily I’m fairly certain I can finish them (or they’re not important).

That is all.
