christmas eve

as per usual, the customer sucks. our balance guy should've been here around 4PM (it is almost 6 now), but, as expected, his flight was late. the balance weights should be here late this evening. best case scenario, we have to come in at 6AM to install these things and run the turbine. worse case scenario, the balance weights arrive around midnight and they've requested we come in immediately the install and run the turbine. christmas FUKKING day! no respect for our holiest of holidays. i mean, for me, it's completely commercial, i like giving and getting presents and i like staring at the tree christmas eve, no churchiness to it (except the church i attended as a young lad has a pretty ceremony i like to go to). but the customer has taken so many shortcuts here and there that have bit them, now we get to pay the price. excellent. not very happy.

thanks for all the birthday greetings, it was a nice day, and i got to eat as many carbs as i wanted (mmm... spaghetti and mashed potatoes mixed). got a nice sherwani from my friend ramesh and wore it to the party last night. it's pretty comfortable, i'll post the pic later. for now, i'm going to go pout since i'll more than likely be working when santa flies over.
