The last two weeks have been utterly crazy - kind of like the rest of the year so far - but this weekend I am facing the prospect of time off without looming deadlines ahead. Something of a relief for a change.

Nothing like a little earthquake in the middle of a launch countdown.

Tomorrow is going to be a long day. (If it goes.. last I heard the weather at Tanegashima wasn’t great.)

This looks pretty cool. Great, now I'm going to get hooked into something else when I know darn well I should be writing or sleeping. *sighs* Thanks @efaardvark

Like your profile's cover pic. Looks like Reki from Haibane Renmei.

Taking wishful thinking to another level: when you think tomorrow is Friday and today is only Tuesday.

Oh no! After LotR I always pictured him as retired and living comfortably with Gandalf and the other Ringbearers in the Undying Lands!

Dress rehearsal for m20 tonight and they're trying to be as faithful as possible to the real thing... right down to the 3am liftoff.
On the plus side, working from home means all I have to do is stumble from my bed to the computer and be awake enough to remember my password when I get there.

End of my first week working from home!
I think I'm actually more tired and discombobulated now than I was at the end of last week however.
At least I'm down to only doing the job of two people.

I might actually get to work from home next week... finally!
Watch, next week they announce the vaccine.

And now they’ve expanded the curfew in Los Angeles to the surrounding areas. I am so done with 2020.
edit: oh, and they’re bringing in the national guard.

If I were one of these work-from-home types then that might apply. I’ve still been commuting however. It is a 24/7 job too. I’ve managed to stay off the mid shift, but I’ve done a few swings. If this turns out anything like the Rodney King riots it won’t matter anyway. We could hear gunfire and smell tear gas even at home back then. Last thing I want to have to deal with after a long shift in the NOC is a “papers please” moment on the way home at 11:30 at night. (Or worse.)

Trying again... 50% change of weather problems - and currently raining - and an instantaneous launch window (3:22pm EDT) is a sketchy combination but maybe we'll get lucky.
(People that don't appreciate talking-heads stepping on the interesting stuff might want to monitor the Mission Control audio loop.)

I can't believe that UPS is still doing the old, "nobody was home" schtick. EVERYBODY is home these days!

I* ran folding@home's servers out of work units!
Quote-
The Folding@home team know about the work unit shortage.
-
It's happening because of an approximately 20x increase in demand.
-
The Folding@home team are working on it and hope to have a solution very soon.
-
Keep your machines running, they will eventually fold on their own.

Every time we double our server resources, the number of Donors trying to help goes up by a factor of 4, outstripping whatever we do.
(*I and about a jillion other people.) -
