There's no place like work, either!

I’ve seen the inside of my office for the first time in two weeks; I can’t say that I missed it all that much, though it was good to see my colleagues again, even if it was in the cafeteria (which used to be a much nicer place to eat than it is these days).

Thanks to the reliable connectivity from Hong Kong, I didn’t have a pile of unread e-mail awaiting me — just a pile of things to do which I chose to defer while travelling. Wonder if I’ll get them done before my next trip?

Tomorrow morning, I accompany Jeffrey’s class to Space Camp at Moffett Field; I’m supposed to keep an eye on about ten kids and make sure they do what they’re supposed to do. I hope they let me play with the simulators, too!
