We interrupt this linguistic presentation ...

[hrj]

I'll finish up the notes from the invented languages conference tomorrow, I think. Too tired today. My after-work schedule got pushed off-kilter because the production unit I support had an after-hours social event at the local pool hall, and since it was right on my way home I stopped in for a couple hours. (And this Saturday is the company picnic at the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk -- what a social whirl!) The current hoopla at work is one of those good news/bad news scenarios. The good news? The company that found a dead bird in one of their product supply tanks was not my company. The bad news? That company is one of our suppliers so a particular raw material is going to be tight for a while (since they basically have to throw out a half-year's production of the item). And I am so glad that I'm not the investigator who has to figure out how an English sparrow got into a theoretically-closed system. Oh, and I talked to my painting contractor today and we're getting started on the next phase of going over the house exterior in preparation for re-painting it. There's some useful progress. (So no more dreams about hiding dead bodies ... not even sparrows, ok?)

Really? I would have been thinking just the opposite.

Ok, you're right. What I'm glad is that my company doesn't have the problem. If it had the problem, I'd definitely want to be the one investigating it! (And given the sorts of cases they usually give me, I probably would be.)
