data checker

last weekend, thankfully, as a quasi-bachelor. it's not even coming home to an empty place every night that feels odd. while i have enough friends around to have a good social life, it's just kind of wandering from one thing to the next on my own schedule. at first, it's kind of like being a freshman right after your parents have dropped you off for the first time. "hey, i'm on my own. i can do whatever i want, whenever i want. the dishes can dry in the sink for a few days. the laundry can lay in hamper, unfolded, for a week."

but the novelty wears off pretty quickly. so i'm glad to be headed back to soflo this sunday. a lot of back and forth in october, but the majority of the time i'll be down there. two short trips to atlanta + one week in portland will keep me away for a bit.

this weekend is heads down. i'm error-checking mrs. wintermute's dissertation data (well, a porition of it). 35 minutes per packet. 19 packets. so, about 10 hours of work, spread out between now (it's friday night) and sunday afternoon, when i fly out. i'll be a bit slower at the beginning, a bit fast at the end. no sweat.

went by emory to run some errands. saw the old chee-phees doing couch friday on the lawn of the house. couldn't resist. sat on the lawn and killed a few beers with them. yup, i'm that guy.

meeting up with moe and joe in a bit. neighbor's. guess who picked that location?

think i'll be meeting moe's new chickie. and joe's might be out, too.
