after hours

here i am, still at work. it gets really quiet around the office after 5:00 or so...good because i can concentrate on my work without distraction, bad because i kind of miss the people. i'm waiting for my postprocessor to finish, crossing my fingers that it will run to completion without producing the segmentation fault i was getting earlier.

hmm, thunder. glance out the window. yep, it's a bit too dark for 6:15...normally the sun doesn't go down until at least 8. the center is on hurricane preparedness level 4 after hearing about tropical storm barry, which has a slight chance of heading our way. i don't know what level 4 is, but i don't think it's important.

good god this is a quick moving storm. suddenly it is pouring rain outside. i have an umbrella here in my office, so i'll be able to make it to the car without getting soaked...i hope. wow, it is really coming down. i can see my car in the empty parking lot from the window; perhaps it is getting washed clean! nice.

ha ha! the processor's almost done. no errors yet, keeping my fingers crossed. christina is still improving. pretty good day.
