That's supposed to be like one of those "before and after" titles - though I had to cheat with the word birthday.
Today was a pretty fun day. Got some info on the website job, and started playing around a bit with the admin stuff, learning how to do some different functions, and finding some problems that I need to bring up with some people. Getting some additional (and more formal) training tomorrow.
Also got to see an old high school friend today – had lunch over around Hong Kong Plaza (had a chicken steak) (and lasted quite a while!) and got some cold drinks. It was a lot of fun, and a great opportunity to catch up and talk and spend time with him. Talked about summer experiences, went for a ride (with me singing my 80s songs), passed by Rincon. It was great, glad I had the opportunity to do that.
Not a whole lot more to my day, so a new feature for you today!
My news roundup for the day:
Dow Jones plunges over 500 points – I got a text on this via CNN’s Twitter account – at first I thought it was a typo, then I heard it on news radio. Scary news. - http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/money_co/2011/08/stock-markets-plunge-in-worst-day-since-depths-of-financial-crisis-.html
FAA shutdown will be coming to an end – yay! Feeling much better about flying to school now. - http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/congress-agrees-on-stopgap-for-faa-workers/2011/08/04/gIQA9n7uuI_story.html
NASA had a big announcement at 2pm EST today (according to their tweet this morning), liquid water may have been discovered on Mars! - http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/05/science/space/05mars.html (sorry if this is using up one of your 20 articles per month on NYTimes)
“Goodnight Moons?” Earth may have had 2 moons (that along with the Trojan asteroid discovered a few weeks ago) - http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/Space/earth-moons-merged-theory/story?id=14233752
Happy Birthday, Mr. President! - http://bit.ly/mOrlVI (AP, hosted on Google – link was too long)
