Well, I had planned on playing Wildstar tonight, after work, but it appears that they're still having some issues.  No worries.  I got other games to play/movies to watch.
 
Today was a good day.  Got up early, went to work (was in the office by 6 a.m.), and started planning out my day.  My team just ended a big project that we'd been working on since last November.  Now, we're all going to other teams to work on whatever other tasks NASA requires.  So, at this point, I didn't really have a lot on my plate.  I'm on the Safety Council at work and I have to give a presentation on Tuesday.  So, I spent a few hours putting together a Power Point presentation about the adverse effects of "over-illumination" in the workplace.  Since I suffer from migraines, a lot, and bright fluorescent lights are a trigger, this subject is near and dear to my heart.  I'm hoping that my presentation will change the way offices are illuminated at Kennedy Space Center.  If not, I'm hoping they'll at least take the bulbs out of the one over my desk ;-)
 
One good thing about working at NASA is that during our "down time" we can use that time to research new technologies for development.  So, I spent a little bit of time today going through some Pluralsight courses.  Love that site.  Another cool thing is that even during the week, we can spend about two hours per day on our own project/research.  It's a pretty low-pressure environment for the most part.
 
Anyway, since I was in early this morning, I took off at 2 p.m. and went down to the NASA Exchange store.  I had promised my little girl that I'd buy her some "space" toys.  I got her some glow-in-the-dark moon rocks, a craft set for making her own cardboard robot, a NASA hoodie, an Atlantis Space Shuttle plush, and a globe that illuminates and put stars on the walls and ceilings.  When I got home, my daughter was so excited about the stuff that I got her.  Within 30 minutes, she had the robot put together.  Now she's contemplating tearing it apart and making something else with it.  She also loved her new hoodie (it's her first hoodie, she's always wanted one).  So, I was glad to put a smile on her face.
 
Anyway, I get to work from home on Fridays, so I thought I'd stay up late tonight and play Wildstar for as long as I could.  Since that doesn't appear to be happening, I may just watch "Back to the Future" on Amazon.  The whole trilogy is free to stream, if you're a Prime member.  So, today wasn't a bad day.  It was a good one, and not being able to play Wildstar hasn't really put a damper on it.  Just have to be patient.
 
Also, I have no idea why I wrote this.  I realize it's just a rambling post about my mundane day, but I just felt like putting it out there.  I hope everyone else's day has been awesome and that not getting to play Wildstar tonight won't have a big impact on you.   Just growing pains.  I'm hoping that by next week, this'll all be under the bridge and we'll all be having a blast on Nexus.
 
Good evening, ya'll!
