* up 6:35; W=196.2; drugs, nose, dishes, laundry, coffee, light
* 9am UBF needs to be at train station
* 10am UBF's train leaves
! relieved. Concerned about the YD.
: Tried to reboot Trantor; failed. Weird grub config? Time to switch to
Nile and squeeze.
* walk to Skyport; picked up flautas on the return.
: weather on the hot side.
! worried. YD still doesn't get it. She and Chaos fought bitterly.
* Colleen's Mother's Day present arrived
& questions about the product from coworkers (marketing and tech writing)
! quite amused that I'm the one people go to for expertise
(the CTO is offsite this afternoon, but still...)
! 4:50 somewhat less (but still) worried.
* started upgrade of Trantor to Natty Narwhal. Took overnight to pull all
the packages, but went smoothly.
A good day. A 20-minute walk, and the Clueless Coworker has until the end of the week to get his tasks finished, so I may not have to take over. On the other hand, that puts me sort of between projects.
But by far the high point of the day was taking the YD's boyfriend to the train station to go back to Simi Valley. And there is much rejoicing (though not on the YD's part, of course). Seeing her sad and distressed hurts, but on the whole this is a very good thing.
Upstairs is full of boxes; it's not clear yet how his stuff is going to get hauled down to him, but it'll happen.
Meanwhile the YD's semester started on Monday, so she'll have more on her mind than just brooding. That's good, too.
Another good thing happened at work -- a couple of coworkers (one from marketing, the other the tech writer) came to me with a question about the file format. It felt good and somewhat amusing to know that I'm the one people go to with random questions. (The CTO, who was also capable of answering, was out of the office, but I suspect they would have come to me in any case. I like to think so, anyway.)
I finished the day by upgrading my desktop to Ubuntu 11.04, or rather starting the process -- it was still pulling down packages when I went to bed, but finished this morning without incident. And it seems to have fixed the recent weirdness with the grub configuration.
Oddly, there seem to be no links. Must have been a busy day after all.
On that school subject...
