Quarter after five and I'm sitting here in an almost empty classroom, babysitting
the one student who hasn't finished his lab assignment yet. Actually, he isn't
even testing it yet, so he's got a long way to go. I'm out of here at six, a rule
the other teacher and I decided on yesterday -- after 6PM they're on their own. It
was his suggestion, but of course I agreed in mere microseconds, due to the 40-
mile drive home and the early wake-up tomorrow (actually, I get to sleep all the
way to 5tomorrow) and the fact that I'm a big lazy antiworkaholic who considers
anything more than a nine or ten hour day to be complete waste of time. And I was
in before 7:30 this morning, thanks to having done only one lap on the lake
specifically because of this class.
At least the remaining student is
a nice guy. It would really suck to stay late for a jerk.
In sports
news, I'm up to 104.7 km on the erg for this year, meaning I have only just over
15K to go to the

I've been tracking it over at
href="http://fivehundred.diaryland.com">FiveHundred. I feel a little guilty
because most people there are trying to cover 500 miles (walking, biking,
treadmill) but not too much: this is a real goal, not something I've made up just
to finish early. I did add a five hundred mile goal of my own there, mostly
because I figured I'd be doing it anyway and it's nice to see the meters roll
up.
Another guy here, one who'd already finished and
left, just popped back in to show me some features of the integrated
development environment he's using. He's one of the developer of it (it's an in-
house product) and I used to be the customer support engineer for the product's
ancestor at another company, but still. If that's not the defnition of geeky, I
don't know what is.
