Another day in the life of a rocket scientist

Have you noticed my diary entries are getting much shorter compared to my entries from Switzerland? There's two reasons for that:

1. My life is boring; I am not meeting and greeting exotic peoples from all over the world; I am not in some exotic location, I am in Houston. So, there isn't much to comment on. As a matter of fact, I have pretty much been watching TV and reading and cooking after work every day. I intend on changing this by possibly meeting some new people to hang around with (as of yet, I really haven't found anyone), and adding flying, sailing, and graduate classes, and possibly horseback riding lessons to my life.. but I am trying to hold off at least until I get a couple of pay checks under the belt.

2. Work is actually entertaining. So far they have kept me busy and interested here. Which is more than I can say for ye olde thermoacoustics group. There they had about enough work for me to fill 50% of my time, allowing the other 50% for emailing, surfing the web and writing massive diary entries. Here, well, I take a break when a program is running. But otherwise, I am busy. Its a good feeling.
