No rest for the weary

I was looking forward to a fairly mellow week this week after all of the craziness of flooding and moving the past couple. Things were going good until Wednesday, when we found out that we (the company I work for) needed to be in the Philippines on Monday for yet another demo of the new system we're trying to sell them.

This news came out of the blue - we weren't planning on having to demo anything for at least another month. Needless to say, we had a ton of work to get done in a very short amount of time so my leisure week ended up turning into working until at least midnight the past couple of nights and pretty late tonight. Oh well, at least I have a job, right?

In some of my down time today, I came across this comic from xkcd which succinctly sums up a lot of what privilege is all about:


Time to go watch tonight's Battlestar Galactica. It seems like no one else is into this show but I have to say that the past two episodes have been some of the best television I've ever seen. All of you are really missing out.
