keep on getting back up

"Water's dripping down here in the basement."

Guess I didn't seal it well. Although I can't figure out where the hell it is getting through. Couldn't find a flaw in the caulking. But it is somewhere.

At least it wasn't from the rain. Had dried out before I got in the shower this morning - was wet when i got out.

Drain/faucet/new tile side is totally dry.

Not sure I have the energy to deal with that.

Oh and I forgot to plug my headlight in today. Don't have a battery backup.

Today was a continuation of last night. Non-stop, issue after issue. some issues resolved themselves even after I made sure they were repeatable and had the company person here to help diagnose. Other ones? Couple hours of working with a different field service engineer on a different system put us no closer to a solution than when we started and part of the microscope is still not working. And A THIRD vendor "updated" the firmware and software and managed to wipe everyone's user account settings, two people discovered that today when i was unable to be there in person to set it up.

This is not a normal day in the dungeon.

Not. At. All.

Hell I didn't eat lunch until 3pm. And I didn't even eat breakfast, AND I ate a pretty small dinner portion (needed to make sure there was enough leftovers for the kid so I started small, then waited before going back for more and then just didn't eat anything else).

Now I'm tired, waiting for another couple minutes to hopefully stuff enough electrons into the headlight battery to make it home on low.

Well speaking of electrons, TEM user just had problems using those electrons to visualize stuff.

AND THE ELEVATOR WON'T STOP ALARMING - non-fucking-stop

Not sure what to make for dinner, whenever I make it home. At least it isn't raining... 

Well - just noticed - that race with the $10 cover for parking? Dropped it to $5. Interesting.

But now I've got a full plate of shit to do, like work on the car... bike racing takes the backseat now... 

I wonder if the light has enough battery to get me home...

I guess I'm supposed to keep going. That's what Seth says. But seriously, who owns a Merckx Leader and sells it...  I guess it is just a bike, hanging on to shit too long is dumb. Not everyone needs to have a museum.

Fuck it - it is going to have to have enough light to get me home. Guess I'll find out.

sigh

so it goes, so it goes...
