Travelling for Work again

I'm travelling for work again. I just got out yesterday and counting the time I get to charge for travel, I had a 15.5 hour workday yesterday. Not bad.

The weather's hot, the work is often tedius, and the test shifts only happen at night, so we worked till midnight last night and I get to go back in at noon. At least I get to sleep in a bit, which is nice. Also on the upside, I make a rediculous ammount of money for all the work, the people are pretty nice, and the particular slice of the project I'm in charge in is at least a step up in interest from what I did last time. I'm not totally frustrated with the work, yet, but ask me again in a week and a half when I'm done.

Also, I'm out a little early to learn how to run a system. It seems relatively straightforward, and my predecessor has a pretty thorough tutorial, so that's quite helpfull. I get the weekend off so I'm going to drive down to San Diego to hang out with Derek, and then I get to pick up Jess from her bachelorette weekend back in LA and we both drive up here for next week. So at least Jess will be around. That's a definite improvement.

I may write more later. I've got to go get some breakfast, or lunch, or whatever.
