It's almost bed-time. I think I've decided I don't like iPhoto much. I didn't fully understand its file-storage hierarchy, so I messed up all the files and had to spend a lot of time re-organizing. The key is to not touch anything in the iPhoto library. I also don't like how it wants to organize the library. It automatically sorts all photos ( Read more... )

I'm drinking a cup of Yogi breath deep tea. It never tastes good to me except when I'm sick and since I'm now nursing a minor cold, it sounded good. It's supposed to help keep the nasal passages and the throat clear, which it does. It also helps soothe the soreness. I think it's all the mint it contains ( Read more... )

I have 15 min. before I have to head into the FAB. The moon was looking very cool tonight. It was partly cloudy with a break in the clouds just where the moon could peak out and it's angular size fairly large for its position above the horizion which made it look really strange ( Read more... )

I finally stopped procrastinating and applied for some jobs at WaferTech in Camas, WA: project supervising engineer, yield/defect analysis engineer, and process engineer, etch section. I only feel like I'm really qualified for the etch job, but we'll see what comes of my interest. There have been some quite possibly fortuitous changes occurring ( Read more... )

I didn't get the job. I'm feeling rather depressed. I talked to Jim about it at length and when I told him I felt like quitting he told me not to and then proceeded to tell me all the things I figured he would. Examples being: you'll be a great eng'r some day, we need you here, your time will come, don't get discouraged, there'll be other ( Read more... )

I feel very aprehensive about work today. I might, or might not, find out some info. about the job. It's sort of like measuring the spin of an electron. Until you actually measure the spin, it's whizzing around with either +1/2 or -1/2. It's not until you point your detector at it that you force it to take a stand. I feel that way about the ( Read more... )

This is a new experience for me. I was intrigued by others who have been keeping live journals for some time, most notably my sister. So, in the interest of finding a type of creative and perhaps therapeutic outlet for myself not to mention adding another piece of interest to this enormous, white and flashy LCD in the corner of my living room ( Read more... )
