Thermal Curtain Failure
posted by Jen | 4:43 PM
Well, the video was a huge success. We've had people asking for copies all day, and I need to make several this weekend. Someone even suggested, in a only-halfway-joking tone of voice, that there must be some sort of film festival that we could submit it to. Um, people, I think we need to put this in perspective. While our office humor may be funny to all the NASA geeks, it may take a bit more generalization to be festival-worthy.
So, it's MLK weekend, so that means that I get even more time to ensure that I don't get back onto a normal sleep schedule before I ruin it all next week. I haven't adjusted totally back to TX time from being in CA over Christmas. I'm still going to bed at 12:30-1:00AM rather than at 11:30PM-12:00AM. So now I'll get used to sleeping in for three days and be back to 1-2AM. Then Thursday night I have to work all night. I get off at ~5:30AM and will get maybe 4 hours sleep before I have to get up to go to the airport to catch the plane to Denver. I can't be too upset about that because we're going skiing. :) Luckily for me, Gavin got his travel orders changed so that I'll only have to wait for him for about 30 min in the airport in Denver. That's much better than the 3 hours I was going to have to wait for him - on 3 hours sleep because we would have had to leave EARLIER for him to catch his flight. (Do the math - my flight was 1 1/2 hours and his was like 5.) It's a good thing he loves me, because I think I'm probably going to be Jen the Cranky She-Beast by the time I get to go to bed Friday night.
Then Sunday is Space Camp at Becca's because Sarah and Melanie and Nick have NEVER SEEN IT! I mean, where does an aerospace engineer of our age get off not knowing what thermal curtain failure is? I understand it in someone that was out of junior high school in 1986, but come on! If you're under 30 you should definitely have seen it.
(Oh, yeah. Some people are running the marathon that morning, too. If you want to hear about that, you'd better go read Sarah.)
