Pushing through

Well, still feeling ill. I got up and got some "breakfast" (the remainder of the pistashio pudding from last night). I put on some more Vicks vapo-rub and went back to bed cuz I still wasn't up to snuff. The extra rest really paid off - the warm dog in the bed doesnt hurt either. I got up around 8:15, took some day-quill and off I went!

Still blowing my nose regularly, but not quite as frequent. Getting into work, I felt slightly worse but still ok. I helped prep the last of the DCBs for my coworker and then started measuring moisture travellers. I got through the first batch of travellers that really are not of great importance since theyve been around for years now.

Then I ran some other travellers and they just kept reading higher and I'm not sure why they seem to be behaving like they are, but as we always say in the lab "it is what it is".

I ran the waterjet just to do a pair of straight cuts. Its really a waste of the waterjet's capability to just make a single straight cut, but they are done now and I wont be pestered about it anymore. I couldn't run the panels on the waterjet that just came in because I found out they need to be cycled through the oven first, so that went in just before lunch. I still need to program the cut path for them anyway.

Between jumping around, I made up a batch of synthetic ocean water, started the cut path programming for a different batch of panels, and helped when I could with at temperature tests. Lastly, I got a panel set out and broke the 9 specimen to wrap up the day. It was worth pushing through the nose blowing, but barely.

Most importantly of all, I won the last hand of yesterday's card game and the first two of today's! I came clost to winning the last one too. Seems that drout has ended at least.

Well, quitting time has finally arrived. Its time to get home!
