Monday at the UK Office
On Monday morning I to find my company’s UK office. The streets were filled with quick walking suits. I made my way to the station to find it packed sardine-style, remembering that it was now a weekday during prime commuting hours. I found my way back to Oxford Circus and first looked for a bit…

Volunteer Day @ Habitat for Humanity
Today I volunteered for Habitat for Humanity for the first time, through an event sponsored by my company. It made for a very early Saturday morning, but it was actually pretty cool. I went with Lesley and we got staffed on a project to build stairs up to two of the Habitat houses. Other projects…

A Long Short Week
So last week at work was the Site Optimization Mid-Year Workshop Week. Even though I didn’t go into work until Wednesday (was in MN prior), it seemed like a long week. Not in the overly busy kind of way, but it was just very event-filled. Tuesday night was a Mariners game with Atlas’ SO team.…

WhirlyBall
Yesterday was a half day in the office for a celebratory ANC team event. The outing? WHIRLYBALL! And oh yeah. It totally rocked. From WhirlyBall.net: WhirlyBall, dubbed “The worlds only totally mechanized team sport” is best described as a combination of Basketball, Hockey and Jai-Alai played while riding an electrically powered machine, similar to a…

The Week! The Week!
(I think the exclamation marks in my title are extraneous, but I sorta like it.) Mm it’s been an eventful week. Currently home at my parent’s house where my Mom made steaks and my Dad made his usual bananas foster. Yum. Funny I am always so super munchie when I’m here. This is only the…

Chronicles of the Microlab #4
Some of you heard about the worst user I’ve helped at work, who worried about “the computer taking the ink off the photo” while trying to scan by inserting her photo into the CD-drive. Worse yet, the photo was of herself, an image she wished to adorn her resume with, a resume which listed computer…
