August 8, 2006 - Heading out

Check it out, it's only been slightly more than a week. Oh, and I fixed my picture of the day. Great, now that's out of the way.

The big news is that I'm headed out to Florida tomorrow! Well, Wednesday technically, as I'm leaving at about 6am. I'll be hanging out with Pete, Scott, Casie, and one person-to-be-named-later, lazing about in the sun and generally being a bum. It's going to be rough, of course. Getting there may not be so pleasant, as tomorrow is going to be about ten hours at work, followed by a Mariners game (with rockin' fourth-row tickets, courtesy of Brad), then straight to the airport where I'm hoping to fly standby on Pete's midnight flight. So hopefully you'll hear back from me in six days or so, with a slew of new pictures.

In the meantime, it's a matter of getting to 6pm tomorrow. See you in a week.

August 14, 2006 - Back, and less than thrilled about it

I'm typing this up ahead of time, as I'm currently stuck in the Atlanta airport because my return flight to Seattle has been inexplicably delayed. So I'm just going to write this like I'm already back.

Florida was an absolute blast. Four-plus days of bumming around, swimming, and just shooting the breeze while doing absolutely nothing of substance. I can certainly imagine doing something like that for a lot longer than just four days. Despite its short timeframe, the trip was amazingly fun, and it was great to hang out with Scott and Casie, and to meet Mike (who was the person-to-be-named-later that I mentioned in the last post). I imagine that you'll see some of the festivities in upcoming pictures of the day, as I didn't take enough pictures to make a real photo gallery out of.

All that said, of course, I am absolutely not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. Thanks to the free internet at the Fort Meyers airport, I was able to catch up on my work email this morning, and it just reminded me of how much I don't want to be there. I really hope that the upcoming "change of scenery" that will happen within the next month will reinvigorate me, so to speak. Until this trip, I don't think I realized that I was sort of getting into a work-related rut. Now, I guess the next step is to work my way out of it. Wish me luck. But in any case, it's hardly anything to complain about yet, because in only two weeks, I am again heading out to Florida; this time it's for work, though. More details on that as it approaches.

Anyhow, from the Atlanta airport that I am pretending is home, that's it for now. Watch the POTD's.
