Broken Computers & Bacardi

Hola Amigos,

Well, the weekend is upon us, and I am glad the week is over. First off, the project is finally beginning to move into mobilization, albiet about two weeks late, and we moved into new offices onsite, so the speed is picking up. For good measure, Windows XP decided to have a serious mental breakdown on me on Friday just before a meeting with the client. I spent most of the day with our IT guy in the main office trying to figure it out. It was a true conundrum for both of us. I was able to salvage the schedules from the system and I left it for him to re-image. Oh well, at least I have a computer to borrow this weekend until I get mine on Monday, but no P3 software, so the schedules are out of luck until then.

Anyway, today was a recovery day for me, so I headed out with a coworker for a little tourist action. We visited the Bacardi Rum plant outside of San Juan and took the tour. It was fun, but it only passed some of the day, so now I'm just chillin' in my room talking to you fine folks.

I'm looking foward to this week, because I'm heading out of here on Tuesday. I'm ready for a nice long, long weekend home with some stuffing, and an Aggie win over the t-sips. Most of all, I'm ready to get home to the wife. Just is patient enough with me to let me venture off on another assignment abroad, but it doesn't mean that I like being away.

Well, ya'll, I'm gonna get back to relaxing, but I hope everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving. Remember, the holiday is for family, so kiss your mom and thank her for cooking enough food to feed a small African country just to get you to visit.

Adios,

Pooh
