jayI'm back from dropping sarahh, dawnd and my beloved patgreene at Sevilla train station. Returning here in time to help the rest of my team finish last-minute packing and then send them off... JO, DN are going overnight with SS to Faro, Portugal. So this morning I led and was part of a group of eight on a successful project -- now I'm figuratively here alone as a lab assistant/sysadmin for the next week. Lonely, now. Seeing Pat off was very hard... I wish we'd had more one-on-one time on this trip.
And I wish they'd all waved. And no cuddles or hugs for another 10 days or so. Being left is always harder, IMO, than leaving (wry grin). So I coped by getting a chocolate croissant, and driving back very fast (well, 170) with the CD player turned way up. :)
Anyway, back to work... I need to brush up on this years' core spectral analysis procedures and try to put the server in the local router's DMZ...
Oh, yeah, and I got barbered in Seville. (grin).
Pat, Dawn and Sarah in Seville station...

(those of us "at home" miss you, too.)

Date: 2004-09-22 07:30 pm (UTC)I have only once driven over 100 MPH. In a brand-new, borrowed turbo-charged sports car. While passing a cop in order to change lanes and exit.
