We finally picked up our glasses and contacts from Family Vision Center yesterday. I love my new glasses! They are sort of a dark purple color that when inside looks black, but when you get outside they look dusty purple. They are really neat. My eyes had a hard time adjusting to them at first. I think I was used to my old glasses and even ( Read more... )

Today didn't start out so well and it hasn't really been getting any better. When we got home in the morning the power was out due all the wind we've had the last few days. This was only a slight nuisance in that we had to set the battery powered alarm clock. I was a little worried that he "beep" wouldn't be enough to wake me, but I figured the ( Read more... )

I've decided to take a different tack in my approach to this PE photo job and in the process I'm discovering some interesting things about Korean culture. I asked the expat. engineer JinHo Park tonight if he would give Byung Il Kwan, Photo PE manager, a recommendation for me on the the job. As soon as I asked he just started laughing. I was ( Read more... )

The photo PE job was posted yesterday. I was just giddy with excitement as I had fears based on rumors that it would be just handed to one of the two interns photo already has. One thing that makes me nervous, however, is the fact that the job is also posted externally. I'm hoping that as in the case of the etch job not too many external ( Read more... )

After the blessings of beautiful bountiful sunshine we are now back to the old Oregon standby of rain, rain, and more rain. Russell and I had a pretty good "weekend."

Monday:Had to be to Eugene by 8:15 for our eye appointments. I was ( Read more... )

Today's weather was by far the best we've had since early Dec. and unfortunately I slept through it all. I was exhausted when I got home this morning. I woke up once at 2 and just couldn't get myself out of bed. I'm not sure where my energy went from last week. I wish I had it back, though. I hate sleeping away the day. This is going to be a ( Read more... )

I'm feeling a bit jealous of my friend Keith right now. He interviewed on Monday for the etch equipment techncian job and people are telling him he's got the job, according to Doc. Of course this is really good news for him. I don't wish in any way that he doesn't get the job. However, I feel some jealously that, after 1 interview, he'll just ( Read more... )

I've spent most of the day in front of the computer. I really need to get up and (1) make some food because I'm starving and (2) start doing some housework. I'm going to do some voluntary OT tomorrow so today is essentially the end of my weekend. I feel somewhat sad about that since it is a 4 day "weekend" and usually I regard those as sacred.
