How's it going at work today?

I'm just cleaning my mouse with alcohol swabs.

It's Friday

Getting through the day. Thinking about sinking my teeth into that pound of Simcoe tomorrow. The amarillo too. I 'm going to do one of those scenes where people are rolling around on a bed of money - except it will be with hops.

Heading to my work xmas party soon. First stop is Stillwell

Hopefully coming to the end of a very, very long week in the next few hours.

Were in blackout at work. Break\Fixes only. No project changes. Quiet time of year!

A lot of our clients are going into code freeze as well. I'm incredibly jealous. Code freeze means team leads and managers have more time on their hands, which means an incredibly busy time of year for me.

oh I'm still planning for changes and working on projects. Just not working days and nights for the next month.

Unfortunately, we ramp up before the holidays as clients look for design projects to be finished before the Christmas break so they can have contractors price them over the holidays. Looking for forawrd to what has seemed like a very long week.

Submitting a paper revision to the ICES Journal of Marine Science, good thing to cross off my list.

Working from home today with a laptop a good lunch and a cold beer.

Taking hydrometer readings and helping build a kegerator. Not a bad day at work at all!

Fixed some machines this morning, now sitting at Apple Auto glass waiting for a replacement windshield. I got hit by a tiny stone while on the PEI bridge and the thing split right away to 3", and then I watched it grow by 2" during the rest of my drive home. Was freaking windy out there on the open ocean, my hood was teasing me like it was going to flip open at 80km/hr.

At outpatients for possible ear infection that's kicking my ass. Mark, had I known you were just mouse cleaning, maybe I should have come to see you instead!

-Keely.

just finished a incident investigation...writing a submission for our internal quarterly publication...now dealing with a sore back (car accident back in 1999), I hate getting old...I feel 100 yrs old when my back gets sore

Went to a work seminar this am. Skipped out a little early to do some racking. 2013 Merlot, fresh out of the fridge....added a little too much acid last year

2 g/l is pretty close to 2 g/gallon, isn't it?

That was my 10 minute "lunch break" Hell of a day, ran behind for most of it. Just finished. 8.00 am - 4.00 pm. Exhausted.

I paid someone to drill a hole in my tooth and fill it back in. Kind of a make work activity really

I could have looked in your ear Keely. You'd have to bring someone with you to sit in the corner and do the standard joke though ...the one that goes "can you see right through to the other side Doc?"

I'm ready for Advent #5 BRB.

Just got a glimpse of Adam (Brewnoser and beer judge) at work out on the ocean, using high tech equipment, studying Right Whales, hoping to save them from extinction.

It's a Land & Sea TV show, without the ads, and runs for about 20 minutes, but well worth the watch.

It's interesting to know what people on here get up to when they are not brewing.

I just took on a Masters Thesis looking at mental health smartphone apps in Education. I kind of see it as another job, lol

Two days in Halifax at a conference. Better hit the road soon, long drive. It's dark out there. I'd rather stay snug at home.
