Not much to report tonight.  Met with the customers from Spain today for 2
hour meeting.  It is always interesting trying to talk technical to someone
whose native language is not English.  At least the one system engineer had a
pretty decent grasp of English.  It was fun listening to their conversational
Spanish, and not being able to interpret it.  On the other hand, I could
partially translate the Spanish.  Just goes to show, conversational language
is 10 times harder to learn than proper language.  Err...correction, partially
translate the engineer's written Spanish.  Damn, I hate this stupid editor.

Rainy day blues and my darn eyelid keeps twitching all day long.  I just want
this day to end so I can go home and eat a nice supper and try to continue to
adjust to daylight savings time.  Bah, at least the weekend weather is looking
good.  Oh yeah, I got my 5 year service catalog.  At my job, at 5 year
intervals, you get a catalog to pick out one free piece of overpriced junk as
a gift.  I'm hoping I can find something that I can ship off as an X-mas gift
to a family member.  I haven't looked at the catalog yet to know.  So, this
means I'm fully vested in a pension fund that's about to freeze (and will
prolly go away long before I'm retired.)  Hooray for me!  Time for the gym.
