I worked from home my first day back to work, so it was bearable. Most of the day was spent going through e-mail, and taking care of a few things that needed finishing up before the ISO audit tomorrow and Wednesday mornings. I was prepared to go to NCSU today to “withdraw from school,” as … Read more

We got up at about 9:30 today to a very rocking boat. The conversation of the morning was definitely about Dramamine with emphasis on the Drama. Fortunately, I was not affected.

We were up and at ’em early this morning, as we had to be on shore at 7AM. We had the breakfast buffet, and headed to the gangway. Vivian went ahead to let the tour folks know that we were on our way, as it was a little after 7AM as we disembarked. They snapped … Read more
Our alarm was set for 6AM today, but at just after 5AM, this god-awful noise started happening under the boat.

Geez, what … Read more
