For the last little bit I’ve been using a program called MyTime which tracks the programs you use and websites you visit while you use your computer. It’s an interesting little program that I’ve mostly forgotten about. At the end of last month, I decided to take a look what I’ve been up to while working. Here’s the breakdown:
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised by how much time I spend in Mail. It certainly feels like that’s how my professional life is.
So, where do you spend most of your time at work?
The family and I were able go see Blue Man Group’s new tour this past Sunday down in San Diego. It was much different from their How to be a Megastar tour a few years ago and was actually more akin to their Las Vegas show. The below video gives a really good idea of what is was like.
In yet another time where I can’t tell if I should be proud or embarrassed as a parent. Here’s a brief conversation between my wife (B) and my daughter (K, 14):
B: What’s my cell phone number?
K: I don’t know.
B: What’s Jenny’s number?
K: 867-5309
My son was at Hume Lake with the Junior High group from our church this week. He wasn’t due back until today (Saturday). Plans change. Thursday night, he called home but from the infirmary. He had a sore throat and fever since the day before but it got bad enough over the next day for him to be segregated from the rest of the camp. Between his significant disappointment, a small case of homesickness, and the fact he was likely to be isolated until the group came back today, we decided that it was appropriate to head up Friday to get him. Road trip!
We got up at 4 AM and were driving by 4:30. Driving when we did, we avoided the world-famous LA traffic and were up there about 11:30. The camp is quite impressive and we’ll need to keep it in mind for a family trip in the future. After we signed out Brian, we gassed up, had a little lunch, packed his bags up and we headed back home.
Not as smooth coming back. Due to the timing, traffic made the drive take about two hours longer than the way up. Total trip: 15 hours and 689 miles. Worth every minute and mile.
