I&#8217;m scheduled to take some of my &#8220;use it or lose it&#8221; vacation time this Friday and Monday, just in time for a research conference.  This has meant that the poster printer has been running non-stop since before 7 this morning, and it&#8217;s not likely to let up for a few more days.<\/p>\n<p>Work-Kevin is taking Friday off too, going out of town to check out a grad school.  He&#8217;s been accepted to a couple of them, and he wants to try to get a feel for the various towns they&#8217;re in without getting a tour from a recruiter.  It&#8217;s weird to think that he&#8217;s going to be gone by this fall.<\/p>\n<p>At any rate, the two of us have been trying to compress a five day workweek into four days so that my boss isn&#8217;t overwhelmed being in here alone on Friday.  So, blogging may be a bit spotty for a while.  In fact, the only reason I&#8217;ve got time to write this is that I&#8217;m doing a VHS transfer of a video project and there&#8217;s no way for it to take any less than 20 minutes to complete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m low on tea.
