All Booked Up

Hi there.

Looks like I found myself with nothing to talk about after my little episode. But things are going well.

One of my coworkers asked me when I was going to have another pizza party at my place, and then I realized it couldn't be until mid-April. I'm all booked up, which is a good thing. This weekend will be spent in Freiburg, next weekend is a birthday party / bowling, and then I'm in the U.S. the following two weeks.

The poor MasterCard has already gotten a workout this month, and it'll continue to take several more beatings during the next few weeks. I'm afraid they'll suddenly start blocking charges for fear that my card has been stolen or something. I usually don't use it while over here.

I got a new project at work. It's actually more of a systems analysis task, as they're finding errors in how the ancient database is loading sales data into Access, which loads it into yet another database for retrieval. Well, things aren't being bucketed correctly, so I get to document the current scenario, what it should be doing, and then oversee implementation. First step is finished. Now it's turned into one of those things where nobody knows what it should be or whom to contact to find out, etc. So I'm being bounced around a ton of people that I don't know, and not really making any further progress. It's fun.

Countdown until departure to Chicago: 2 weeks, 0 days, 10 hours
