well, at least I'm home

[jaeclectic]

It wasn't a horrible day at work, but it wasn't terrific either. I spent most of my work time focusing on some items that are not urgent, but are well-defined, which was sensible but not very inspiring.

Went out for lunch with a group of engineers, which was pleasant but my feet got soaked so I spent the rest of the day with cold, wet feet.

The drive home took 1 hour 20 minutes (via San Mateo, presumably would have been worse via Bay Bridge if one can trust 511, but since 511 was predicting less than an hour for the route I took, hard to say). At the end, there was 5 minutes of waiting for a very long, very slow freight train to pass.

I foolishly opened a window before I left the house this AM. It is now extremely cold in here.

I wish I had someone to go out with, to have a drink and be glad the week's over. But I'm probably too tired and whiny to be good company anyway.

Update: FWIW, eating something, drinking some wine, and watching really silly newly invented sports that have been made part of the Olympics was sufficient to cheer me up. So, you know, I'm not really permanently grumpy.

Thanks, hon. Don't let the sleet get you down?

Re: newly invented olympic sport. Someone told me that there is now front-facing luge. Like, regular luge isn't dangerous enough?

Hope you feel better.

Yeah, what I saw was:

"skeleton", which is some kind of sled going 75+ MPH face-first down an icy track, so that's probably the front-facing luge you heard about;
"snowboard cross" (women's), which is snowboard racing with contact allowed;
and of course ice dancing, the compulsories which means X couples all skating the same waltz.

I am glad I remembered to turn on the TV for once, the sheer bizarreness of it all was oddly cheering :)
