woo, sleep!
i've been quite restless at night the past 2 weeks or so, probably fretting about dad, but i have slept so well the past couple of nights. makes all the difference in the world.
made it home around 11:15 last night after the AT2 game, which we won! woo! thanks to Spike for his awesome game - he was absolutely en fuego. the bench was short - only 2 full lines + 1 floater thru wingers, but i made it through the game much easier than i thought i would. i decided to play tennis yesterday before hockey, and it was damn hot outside. just rallied for a bit and then ate dinner, headed to LoTech.
i played with Sam and Corey most of the night and that was awesome. they are both so good at being patient with me and trying their best to set me up. good peeps, good players. i had one fat chance in the 3rd period and fortunately we were already on our way to winning, otherwise i'd be bummed. i was in the (not so high) slot and the pass came through to me...i one-timed it (at least the best i can) and pulled it just wide. i was so anxious that i didn't even realize that i probably would have had more time. not enough to settle it and then shoot, but more time than i thought i had. *sigh* at least i was in the right place for once!
been a pretty busy day at work. we've hired an underling to do dishes and more menial tasks that i've been doing. that's great, but i'm also the person in charge of training him. he's doing all right, i think i just forget how intimidating it is to start in a lab, and i'm realizing how much of the tasks are routine to me now but were once so foreign. it's taking a lot of time to get him going, but once he's on his own it will free up more time for me to get other things done. in a way, it's also nice because it's made me realize how much i actually have learned in the past 6 years. sometimes it feels like i haven't accomplished much but i'm seeing that things that i can do in my sleep are challenging for him. so that's my feelgood thing for the day.
oh, and my email is functioning now that i've moved away from sbc. woot!
