I'm getting that sense of impending doom once again.

I promised, more or less, the last of the model, the parts that weren't rushed to get done back in the spring, for the end of August. Not just the model, but a completed report on improvement runs made on a calibrated model.

I just started the subcatchments for Bridge City today.

Couple that with the fact that I'm spending 20 hours a week at the Yenni building and this "doth not bode well." Looks like I might be spending Friday afternoons/Saturdays/Sundays at the office, again.

Gee, the things I do because I care.

Anyway, today brought what will probably the last NewEgg.com order for a while, unless Koutech makes an updated version of the floppy drive I ordered a while back: one with a USB motherboard header (and they could even bring the spare port up to the front panel) this time instead of the lame through-plate.

In any case, I have a new bit of technology in my possession: a new cell phone!

A silver Motorola V3 RAZR. I ended up having to buy it from Newegg because AT&T didn't carry this one any more. It still works, but it's the 2G phone. I don't NEED a 3G phone: I've suffered with a 1G phone all this time; do you think I'm going to leap & bound technology like that?

Oh wait, I just did that with the computer. But, see, the computer was 5½ years old, and the phone is only 2 years old.

And besides, I'm more of a silver guy than a gold guy.

Now if this one will hold a charge for more than 24 hours, I'll be happy.

The first phone call placed got voicemail. The second call was an answering machine. The first call back was the first missed call: Amanda.

Through the course of conversation, her plan "A" is to come visit in 9 days, in hopes of catching one of my softball team's playoff games (We host Grace Presbyterian in Game 4 Saturday morning at 10:30 AM CDT.) Hopefully this will be coupled with a serious job interview, but that doesn't appear to be necessary.

Well, there could have been better times to have been tied to work.
