It's Friday. It's been a pretty quiet on-call week so far - hardly any pages in the middle of the night. We switched our monitoring system to a newer server, and that seems to be helping.
I'm ready to start walking again next week. Riding the subway in the morning is starting to drive me nuts - people are so stupid. The 4/5 line doesn't stop near work, so I have to transfer to a local train. The local train is usually empty, but there's probably 10-20 people per door that get on, that make ...

...I must have FRUIT!
last night i ended up working later than usual due to a stupidity problem on another party's fault. well. it's more of an ongoing stupidity problem that's rather annoying. so i didn't eat until late enough that i had a headache. and i didn't eat quite right, so i wasn't really filled up for very long.
went to stretch to do weights, but my shin splints on one leg started to hurt, so I opted not to push it. And then I went off the deep end. I made the mistake of wat...

In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner forty niner,
And his darling Clementine.
Oh my darling, oh my darling,

I started doing the exercises Lu suggested yesterday, and they seem to be helping. Instead of a sharp pain in my legs, it's more of a dull pain. So, it's getting better.
There was some crazy guy on the subway last night spouting all kinds of stuff loudly. I think he was just drunk or high or both and was just talking really loudly. And crazy. Generally people just let them do their thing, unless it appears as though they might get physical, then they move out of the way. Which seems prudent...

Sitting here waiting for my groceries to arrive. I have a salmon fillet on the way, and I think, stuff to make this parchment salmon thing I made before, but i need some different herbs. One thing I found about the place I order from - I don't like their fresh herbs very much. Not sure what they do with them, but they usually tend to end up getting bruised or just seemingly mis-treate. So, I just buy them locally. It's really not that big of a deal. But, I am out of parchment paper, so I may hav...
