Randomness from this weekend and today.
So we have a new developer on the HIM team today! I am his mentor. We spent like two-thirds of the mentor/mentee lunch talking about GTA San Andreas, so, you know, that was awesome.
I'm at Epic's Verona campus most of this week, instead of the building on Tokay Boulevard where my office actually is, so I get lots of opportunity to check out the construction site where they're busily constructing Campus 2. The most-complete building is shaping up nicely, although I don't know if it'll be ready for my team to move in next month like supposedly we will be. The next-to-most-complete building is coming along too. I keep wanting to go up to the construction workers and tell them that they amaze me, you know? They take all these piles of unassociated stuff, I-beams and concrete and whatever, and they go out there, do a bunch of hard work, and turn it into a coherent whole. That is incredible. And yet there's basically no way I could ever tell them that without them thinking I was being sarcastic. I'm not! I am amazed and grateful. Someone should write some notes to tape to the heavy machines.
THERE IS A ZOMBIE CONVENTION IN MILWAUKEE HOW DID WE NOT KNOW THAT BEFORE. Then again this might be the first one ever. It's hard to tell, as their site is kind of crap when it comes to actually telling you things. Can *you* find anywhere on the front page where it says *when* the convention is? I can't! But it's in October.
On Sunday we went back to Kopke's greenhouse, mainly to replace my coleuses as I, er, mumblemumblemanagedtokillthemallmumble. Or at least all the wizard roses, and one of the four black dragons might pull through, though probably not the other three. It turns out that prefertilized soil mix is not the best things to transplant little plants into! So we went back to get better soil, another four-dragon pot, and another three-strip of wizard roses. And we did get them. Plus some other coleus plants. You know. One or two. I repotted the old ones, then potted the new ones and added them to my plant table. After moving the old ones elsewhere. And finding places in the living room for the new colei that didn't fit on my table. And uh.
Do you think I have a problem?
