Well, not so much working on a tan as just enjoying the mid-November sunshine.   I was shirtless, but had on blue jeans as my concession to the lateness of the year.   Still, felt a little like summer.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>We had a really long division wide meeting yesterday morning.   I didn&#8217;t really get a lot out of it &#8211; though the breakfast was good and there was mention of a lunch room being built in our building.  The meeting itself was in the new stadium so that was cool.     I think we either need to have a lot more of these meetings to stay caught up on projects since much of time spent was getting us caught up on the projects we&#8217;re not involved in &#8211; though that does beg the question &#8220;If we aren&#8217;t involved in the project, do we need to be?&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Or have fewer of these meetings so we can get more work done.   &#8216;Cause 2+ hours out of a Monday morning really put me behind schedule.   Man, was I swamped!    I had another meeting at 12:00 so that pushed my swim back to the end of the day.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Ah, the swim.   I was already tired and cranky from the day, so I was disappointed that there was a swim practice going on and all of us &#8220;non-swim practice&#8221; people were confined to one over-sized lane at the shallow end of the pool.   There was already a guy there in that lane, so I tried to stay near the wall and out of the way &#8211; though that was nearly impossible when he did the backstroke &#8211; he&#8217;s worse than I am at staying in a straight line.    I mixed in a few laps of butterfly &#8211; he did as well and did better than I.   He also clearly had way more practice than I had as well as an enormous gut &#8211; so, I didn&#8217;t feel bad.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>At least, not until I was back in the locker room and he told me &#8220;Good effort on the fly&#8221;.  I thanked him and made a little small talk, but I was not amused.  <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Good effort?   Rough translation:  &#8220;Nice try, but you still suck&#8221;  It&#8217;s like saying &#8220;Good hustle out there&#8221;    = &#8220;You didn&#8217;t get much accomplished, but nice job running around,&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Wanker.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Just wait till next time.   I&#8217;m only going to get better and faster and I&#8217;m already vastly more hydro-dynamic.   <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Well, better get back to the systems.  We&#8217;ve been having some issues today with a variety of web tools and I need to check and see what&#8217;s back up.<\/div>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/6913097901389264887-8504291633516673032?l=thunderofwade.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I forgot to mention that this past weekend, I laid out in the sun and read a book while working on a tan.
