Not that it was a totally horrible time -but pretty close! I was definitely due for a long weekend of catching up on my sleep. Getting up earlier than I normally do during the week so we can drive down to Anaheim, to walk around all day and try and see stuff…hmmm. Not fun for me. I did enjoy the Star Tours and Pirates rides (like I always do). I never bore of them even though I have worked on them as an engineer in the past and know all about what goes on behind the magic. Getting to bed a 2am on Sunday morning means no church for me tomorrow! I eventually wound up just sleeping through most of the day (and missed Steve’s B-day party). At least I got my sleeping in on Sunday to make me ready for a super-early start time come today. Looks like my boss wants to head out of the AV this early every day…uug. At least I’ll be getting back to town at a decent time (if I don’t start driving myself more often). All in all, I look at going to Disneyland a lot like me dragging my wife to the Pomona computer show. I did it because I love her and want her to be happy. I did my best not to complain or punish anyone for dragging me there -I was a good sport.
I did get my mini wireless mouse in on Friday night! Oh joy of joys!! Not that often does a $5 item make me so happy as the fact that I don’t have to unwind my laptop mouse every day as I have been doing for the past few weeks. I think I’ll be looking for some good AAA rechargables here pretty soon as I expect these little guys not to last that long (but you never know).
Finally loaded 3D Studio Max 6 on the laptop. I’m hoping to start getting up to speed on the new platform this week in anticipation of some more work coming my way. I sure do hope that I get to the point where this is all the work I do for a living…some day…
