I am going to do a search rotation. No I'm not. No wait, yes I am. Well, just wait a little longer and you'll know. You're leaving Friday. You're leaving Sunday. No Friday. No, you're not going at all. You'll be gone for 2 weeks. No, a week and a half. Well, just wait a little longer and you'll know.

Anyway, that's how the day is going so far. On top of that, I've decided someone needs to make the Mapping Toolbox I use run faster. I *hate* waiting for code to run.

The weather is so nice, the sun its shining, its warm, its so pretty.

Its tax day, but I filed my return a couple of months ago, and YESTERDAY, I got my refund! Whoo hoo! I know that my withholdings shouldn't be so lopsided that the IRS ends up with my extra money until I file a return for the refund, but it was still a nice little windfall. Next year, I'll have no such luck, since I fixed the lopsidedness.

Anyway. I have two questions: Who in Melbourne, Australia and who at Lorel Space & Comm in Palo Alto reads my page regularly? I don't know you and you know me, which puts me at a disadvantage! So, sign my guest book. You both sound like interesting people based on your location, so... :)

1:46 p.m. I'm really disappointed, it looks like they aren't sending anyone new out on search rotations. I wish I could've gone, but my work prohibited it until this last rotation, and now, its too late. Well, I guess it means I'll be home for the next two weeks and I'll return to my old pre-Columbia job sooner rather than later. Sigh.
