may day

the good news: i finally have a new light bulb above my desk, after a week in the dark. so how many nasa people does it take to change a light bulb? only one, but it takes a week.

the bad news: i didn't quite finish my code mods yesterday. if i'd had 20 more minutes, it would have been done, just 20 more minutes! but i had to leave work to get home by 6, because...

the good news: i got debbie, jason, chris, and chris's friend matt to go to the baseball game with me. the braves are in town! wahoo! they won big last night, 11-1, as i root root rooted for the away team. hampton pitched well. go braves!

the bad news: when the braves aren't in town, the astros are my team, and they aren't playing well this year. i don't understand. with biggio, bagwell, berkman and kent, they should be producing a lot more offensively, and the pitching hasn't been as good as expected either. hmm.

the good news: i won more money with my camera phone! i submitted a photo of jason sporting a pink and orange tissue paper hat at debbie's chuck e. cheese bday dinner, and it was selected as a daily winner. (follow the link, it's the $100 picture on the lower left.)

the bad news: it was selected as an honorable mention, not the big daily winner, so only $100 instead of $500, and no entry into the next round. still, no complaints on my part, or jason's, as we're both $50 richer.

the good news: i am still winning the a/c war in my apartment.

the bad news: it's starting to get really warm outside.

happy may day everybody!
