Goals Check-In: Week 3 of 8† (Winter)

Visitors called from airport, said they'd arrive at planned time. I contacted everyone avoiding the commute and said com'on in. Arrival was over an hour late.

Whatever.

Initial meeting fine with a colleague having a break out session with the visitor she describes as being a young ProductMan. He was very high strung. "Omg VP wants! Need help!" I fear for my employability around "ask how high" VPs who demand immediate jumping. No, i fear for the VP's extremities, then my employability.

I came home at a reasonable hour with a very reasonable commute, talking to Mom, then showering -- trying to relax -- Christine fixed dinner and we watched Hawaii Five-0 (a ghost story straight out of Scooby Do plots, with a certain attitude towards indigenous belief that grated a bit). It wasn't late at all, but when i sat down at the computer to work on getting ready for tonight's meeting i was Not Interested. So insted of playing some game of distract-o-rama ("I'll start thinking about this, but let me first see what's happening on LJ... twitter... facebook... email... LJ... twitter... other blogs... LJ...)

Up this morning, trying to respond in a timely manner to a few things, looking warily at the commute. Time to get going on the day. but i'm going to see if i can do goal check in in 5 minutes -- no but it was good to reread stuff even if no way i'll get to it this week. ( Read more... )

"Total reservoir storage increased by 2,553 acre feet in the past 24 hours."

Wow, 2,553 acres covered by a foot of water! How does that compare to ... Rhode Island?! That's 0.3% the area of Rhode Island. OK, not interesting. How does that compare to San Francisco? That's 1.7% of San Francisco -- wait, what?

San Francisco has 15% the area of Rhode Island?

I don't think i have any sense of area scale at all.

Also, i cease to be impressed by how much water we've accumulated.
