Hold It!

I played too much Phoenix Wright this weekend. When I was debating politics with my dad, I slammed my hands down on the table every time I wanted to make a point.

United Airlines: We Failed Geometry

I have to say I love connecting flights. For example, in my flight to Cincinnati (Sinsinnati?) this past weekend, I had a layover. I didn't expect it to be so far out of the way (red = actual flight, blue = straight line to destination):


I know most of the reasons for crazy detours like this, but as far as I can tell, I flew on a plane for almost twice the time I needed to. Also interesting is that United had a direct flight to Dayton Ohio, but did not offer a puddle-jumper flight to Cincinnati.

Tada!

It's somewhat difficult to use your phone when you can't read any of it...

A Fish Story

This is a story of a fish named Steve.

Annie and I went out to Kowloon Restaurant this past weekend. If you've never been, it's kind of a all-Asian restaurant. It has Szechuan, Polynesian, Hong Kong, Thai, Sushi, Cantonese, and even some American dishes. As such, the menu is huge (it's numbered, and the highest number I noticed was in the 500s). After quick some deliberation, I decided upon a Thai dish called Plu Ray Fish, or something like that. The dish contained fish with a hot pepper sauce, something that sounded delicious and different. Annie ordered some sort of chicken and vegetable dish, and we ordered an appetizer plate. The appetizers were great. Then, without fanfare, enter Steve, stage left.

I apologize for the poor photo quality; my cell phone camera sucks.

Apparently, I had neglected to read the entire description of the entree, specifically the part that read "whole fish". And so it came to Steve, on my plate, staring back at me in my seat.

Suffice it to say, I'm not a big fan of fish bones in my fish, and I lacked the eating skills to adequately separate meat from bone.

And Injustice Deliciously Squared

Most people have staples, pens, and other office supplies in their desk 
drawer. I got that... plus some.

Damnit Jim, I'm an engineer, not a doctor!

I made the best gingerbread house ever! Annie worked with me for a while, but before we had the first floor walls completed, she had to quit because it was almost midnight. So I labored on and completed this masterpiece!

Note the red M&M above the door, welcoming visitors.

You can see some spare building supplies in the front right.

The back wall could use a little work, but that should be hidden most of the time.

All in all, a beautiful house.

What's the captial of Singapore?

So my boss is named Ed too, which is interesting. As with anyone I ask for help/clarification at work, I try to figure out my problem and make sure I'm not missing the obvious before I actually ask. I also try to group a few requests together so as to save the other person time. After reading over my questions to make sure I didn't miss anything stupid (as I'm still pretty new here), I sent off the email. Here is my synopsis of the interaction, in graphical form:

(for those of you technically inclined, yes that is the SQL Server Query Analyzer.)
(Also, my boss, who is like a billion times better than my old boss, was not mean at all about it. I just felt like a retard.)
