I got up to teach my 8:00 class, but I got there and there were only three students. We went over some course material a little, but after 10 minutes, there were still only three students, and we'd run out of stuff to go over, so I just let them leave early.
Huh. You got up. I guess that means I should go to bed.
Heh.
Good night.
Many times I didn't show for the 8AM class. Ugh.
Mars rovers go into triple overtime. [link] They just keep going and going and going. Some pretty clever people designed those babies.
eta: Goodnight NovaChild!
Somebody had to watch for the cheetahs.
t puts on responsible face
I will volunteer to watch for the cheetahs. And give them Nutty's address.

At night, the ice cheetahs come
I just realized I forgot to buy coffee yesterday. Luckily there is a Dunkin Donuts by my train station.
Spirit as well as Opportunity have gotten a power boost in recent months, apparently due to Martian winds that have swept accumulated dust off their solar panels.
The Martian office of Mr. Goodwrench is going to be annoyed that they're not getting credit for dusting the things off and checking the tires and all that.
Now that I've had a day to think about it, my sluggish memory has dredged something sleep-related up out of the depths. I read an article (maybe in Discover, probably 10 or 15 years ago) that claimed that if people were deprived of time cues (daylight and clocks and so forth), they would settle into a pretty regular schedule of being awake for 3 or 4 hours and sleeping for 1 and 2 rather than sleeping for 8 hours and being awake for 16 or anything resembling the usual circadian rhythm. I have no idea if that's been debunked. I do sometimes feel like I would like to live that way (the sleeping pattern, not the never seeing the sun or knowing what time it is)
Hee. I'm now picturing Stephen Colbert looking for Mr. Goodwrench on Mars.

Eww. Now

I was at work last night until 7:15, taking care of work that needed to be done "immediately" according to someone who is not my boss. Before he left at 4:45, my boss asked me to stop in and see him every morning when I get to work to report on a project for the next 6 weeks.
I got in to work at 8:55 this morning, no boss in his office, although I was told he was at work. I return after a stop in my office to update a report I plan on giving him daily. Still not boss. He continues to not be in his office until 9:15, when I do get to speak with hima nd give him my updates. I am so looking forward to 6 weeks of this.
Now I think I will take a walk and get myself coffee and a bagel.
