The three day weekend was quite nice. I feel more rested, more recharged, more capable of dealing with the onslaught of crap I wouldn’t be bothered with if I wasn’t getting paid. Just read my “instadose” and I think it could be defective. I haven’t read data from it since I got it many months ago and it reported exposures of “zero”. That doesn’t seem right given that background x-rays are non-zero. Dunno. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it’s fine. But this is the sort of tedious shit that occupies most of my days.

I always go back to what I’m grateful for. Reminding myself of the wonderful things in my life that keep me going despite all of this engineering crap feeling so pointless. My wife is amazing. She’s so smart and funny and loving. I’m lucky to have her.

We need to have a family vacation soon. Take the kids somewhere fun.
