Basically, I could have slept through that entire morning and not really missed anything. Actually, I kind of ended up giving a presentation in a half-assed way, and that was definitely worth skipping.
Lunch was a vegetarian’s nightmare so we went to Subway. I stocked up on some diet pepsi while I was there. Just hooking up the I.V. as I type this…

My brother broke the good news: the remaining 3/4 of Led Zeppelin are getting back together…if only for one show. I expect tickets to be reasonably priced.

I kind of want one of these tshirts, although it might be just a little too hipsterer-than-thou for me. [via Zoilus]

OK, time to do a little Powerpoint magic and then get a drink.

The gamut
Bad: dinner. The bad veggie burgers and some fingerling potatoes. I feel ill.
Good: my group meeting. It’s good to have a laid-back, smart group that all gets along and doesn’t feel the need to beat every little point to death. We met after dinner, picked a rough direction, created a tentative outline and half an hour later went our separate ways. Easy.
Awesome: a classmate found me a Diet Pepsi. I hereby swear to deliver to her my firstborn child, should such a thing occur some day.

I am very, very, very tired. And hungry. And it’s fixin’ to be a looooong night.
Anyone up for a little prison breakout? I need mercenaries, transportation and a Hero Burger.

Lunch today: potatoes, Mexican corn and trout. The potatoes were edible, the rest less so.

The alarm clock in my room is enormous. It looks kind of like the machine that Jeff Goldblum builds in The Fly. Or the monolith in 2001. It also has more controls than an F-16 cockpit. On the plus side, I can plug my Zen into it and the sound isn’t too bad.

Interesting things that happened today:
- I saw a bunny eating the lawn outside. First time I’ve seen one up here.
- I discovered that this building has switched from Pepsi products to Coke products. This does not bode well for me getting a damn thing done this week. DP = productivity.
- I learned that middle-aged British professors with soft voices who discuss strategic analysis models could put a coffee-riddled chihuahua into a coma. Come Wednesday I shall require toothpicks to keep my eyes open.

Once more unto the confined learning environment, dear friends
On the DVP now, heading up to another intensive session.Looking forward to seeing everyone and getting some good sleep. Not looking forward to the food. God, give me strength. And some protein.

A wider platform at Union Station would probably solve about half of those
That wasn’t taken today, but it could have been if I could be arsed to find the camera. I believe that’s St. Catherine’s in the distance.

Yesterday, the good: since my team is moving from one office building to another (just down the street) we had to be packed up and out of the office by noon. One meeting later and the six of us were off to T-Bone’s house for a bbq. We sat in her back yard, had steaks and veggier burgers (ok, I was the only one who had the veggie burgers), and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine. Well, proximity to the sunshine anyway; half of us burn within seconds in the hot sun.
Yesterday, the bad: too little sleep Thursday night combined with a few suds and embarassing activity (see below) made me exceedingly tired and I crashed around 10:30.
Yesterday, the ugly: Dance dance revolution. That is all.

The TTC is removing signs from their escalators that say “walk left, stand right” as there are growing concerns that such a policy causes injury. I have two problems with this.
In fact, last year alone, 138 people were injured on TTC escalators, with 50 ending up in hospital.
While the TTC recognizes the lack of signs is unlikely to change escalator-use habits, removing the signs may protect the commission in the event of a lawsuit.
First, I have yet to hear how many of the 138 injuries had anything to do with walking on escalators.
Second, expecting litigation is a bit much. The TTC is no more subject to litigation over people walking on their escalators than the provincial government is for allowing drivers to pass one another on their roads.
