"Spooge" You've got a search engine, why don't you look it up.

Well today is supposed to be a holiday, so I'm treating it as such. That is, I am still at work, I'm just outside for a moment with my little machine and a coke. I'm still waiting on the main chemicals I need, and I also have a little backlog of things which my boss wants me to do. Anyway, I'm in the sunlight, so the world seems like a slightly nicer place.

"The tour was over, we'd survived. I couldn't wait till I got home to pass them time in my room alone."

Well, today was fairly quiet, I moved into the new office, and was disgusted by the dirty shoes, laundy and other detrius the previous person had left behind. His doesn't strike me as the cleanest person about, and it wouldn't surprise me if he had actually lived in there, I just have to pray his visa doesn't get renewed any time soon.
Last night I went to the RPG group at the comic/games shop just down the road and it was pretty good. The AD&D DM wasn't there, so I rolled up a character for a Star Wars campaign, and now I have to work on the charters history to insert her into the game with some meaning. I got home about 11:30 pm, and got to bed about 1 am, so I was pretty tired, but it had been a nice time.
Work has been slowly progressing, with no major surprises. I'm wondering how much the US economy will have recovered by the time my contract comes up in October. At the moment, I feel that I will be offered a renewal if the funds are available, but whether I should try and spin off into industry at that time, or wait another year. Unfortunately it would mean another year in Miami if I stayed.
