Today marks the end of the fiscal year and I more or less finished my part of a multi-year project in which we developed a sophisticated, web-based project portfolio management system for our research units. 6 of our 8 units are in production as of today, and that’s what we needed to meet our goal. Beginning next week, for the foreseeable future, I’ll be working full-time for our Facilities department, getting their applications (which have been sidelined due to other projects) moving forward. Anyway, I feel really good about the work I did on this project.
I did about 500 words of the workshop story at lunch today. It stands at 7,000 words now. I’m really going to try and tackle the remainder of the first draft this weekend. I’d like to send it out to the group Monday or Tuesday. At this point, it’s looking to be somewhere between 10,000-12,000 words.
Kelly has her flex-day today. She got to sleep in this morning. We still have a few last minute wedding items to take care of. Yesterday I reserved us a limo to the airport. I also confirmed with the place we are having our rehearsal dinner, and found out when they needed the final count. We have our seating arrangement essentially done. And I have some text I need to send to he11o_sunshine that will be included with our program. (I requires just a little clean-up, Jen, I swear, and then I’ll have it out to you.) We are trying to get as much wedding stuff done as possible this weekend so that we have it all wrapped up. Next weekend we need to cleanup the place and pack for the honeymoon. I can’t believe that we’re only 15 days away from the Big Day.
Had a lazy TV night last night. Kelly made mushroom-stuffed ravioli and we sat down and watched essentially 4 hours of TV, including Smallville and the season premier of The Office. Season premier of Dexter is on Sunday. Tonight, I’m planning on watching the first presidential debate.
Washington Mutual collapsed today–or was taken over by JP Morgan, whatever that means. This whole financial crisis is fascinating in the same way watching a train wreck is fascinating. I wonder if it will come up in tonight’s debate on national security?
