It is time once again to clear out the cell phone’s micro SD card and try to remember why I took these pictures.
My manager recently took a trick to Europe with his family. I think he visited 3 different countries. He bought this “mug” for me (it is only 2” tall at most). I display it in my cubicle at work now partially to impress him and partially because I just like it. I found out last week that I will have a new manager starting in a week or so. I have not decided whether the mug will stay in its current position past then.
On the days that I go into the office to work I like to get out of the cubicle at lunchtime. Sometimes I go up the 6th floor arcade and play Donkey Kong. Other days I walk across the street (a 6 lane main road) and sit near the man made pond there. There are apartments, a hotel and tons of shops and restaurants as well so it is fun to people watch as well. The above is my view from a bench that was mercifully in the shade on the warm day that I took this picture.
It is pretty warm in Texas this time of year so imagine my surprise when these company logo ice scrapers were a new arrival in the company store located just down the escalators from my cubicle. I suppose they might sell since most of the folks that come to this store are people who have travelled here for meetings. Still though, it is summer pretty much everywhere in the northern hemisphere and I would not give this product the shelf space just yet.
I recently accomplished my goal of running 5k I look quite the mess when I get back to the house but I feel great, albeit a little warm. Here is a picture after one of my runs. For some reason neither the wife and kids are in a mood for a hug after I come back into the house after my morning runs.
I am not a big fan of Windows and one thing I really don’t like is all of the patches. At home I can at least postpone them but at work they are forced upon you by the IT department. Inevitably when I am trying to get out of the office on time it will be time for a pile of updates. As with all things Microsoft, the information on the screen does not tell you much (being on update 8 or 16 does not mean you are 1/2 way done). Fortunately it does not happen that often.
Well, the card is empty now and ready for more pics. Thanks for reading my blog.
