Had to let someone go at work today.
Nothing like starting the weekend on a eft-up note...

TFW you realize that you have browser tabs open for both the Mycroft project page and the GLaDOS wikipedia entry.

Anyone going to the JPL open house this weekend? If so, it looks like it is going to be a sunny day! Good weather is nice, but it also means it'll likely be hot as well. There will be water and shade, but also queues outside the popular venues, so bring your patience as well as your ticket. Hope you have fun!

This is the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's open house in Pasadena, California that we do every year. It is a local thing for the most part, though we do get a few people coming in from out of state as well. It is extremely popular, especially with the kids, so crowd control is an issue. A few years ago attendance got up to over 40,000 for the weekend. It was hot that year too, with temperatures over 100F. We had to start issuing tickets to the event to limit the number of visitors as a safety measure. (Tickets are free, but limited in number.)

Just went and got a nice wireless headset for use during those late-night gaming sessions. Apparently rockets make too much noise when they explode for people trying to sleep nearby. Who knew?
This replaces my old wired one that was really more call-center quality on the sound, and physically falling apart besides. (My policy is to buy a new headset every decade whether I need to or not.)
Going to make the rounds on my discord list to test it this weekend. (Which starts in 2 hours, 10 minutes.. not that I'm keeping track or anything. )

Well that sucks.
Boss had me batting cleanup on the TESS launch today so I went in late and I'm just getting home (1am). Only it was scrubbed, so I get to recycle and do it all over again tomorrow and Wednesday. Maybe longer if it still doesn't go.

Jury duty, taxes, and fixing the sliding door are so last-week. Looking forward to TESS and InSight launches. (And all the other ongoing projects of course.). I even played some games (KSP, of course) and caught up on my anime list (binged Tsuki ga Kirei) this weekend.
