Please remind me why I don't hold the Senior Engineer title again?
I got out of the office around 6:15, dropped Poodge off at his apartment since his car is still quite broken, and then drove back to the apartment. Kestral was home already and Roho wasn't far behind. We decided to do dinner at the Continental again, and lord was the place hopping!

The issue was remedied as quickly as possible given the load on the kitchen, but none of us were in a hurry. Just like our dinner there earlier this week I got a phone call and had to step outside to walk the helpdesk through another problem.

Most of them are false positives because of this worm that's running around the campuses still, but I have to check it all out to make sure that things are still running as expected. Because of this I missed a call to
Tomorrow I'll be getting up at my usual time and tending to chores. I need to mail out a check to
