well how about that. looking back an entry or two i finally declare that they are putting me to good use here at the lab. after that the entries begin to dwindle. i have been utterly consumed with my project. i think about it at night, i sometimes dream about it. its a bit of a sick infatuation, since it only gives me pain in the end. i am starting to loose some steam, since the current creative hump has been passed and i am now just ironing out the details. that said,i forsee myself returning to my worktime savior a bit more often. (thats this thing...ok) so anyway, i guess i can explain about my project. it is, phrased with an edge of excitement and glamour, AI arial robotics, and perhaps more accurately, figuring out a way to get these damn UAV's to not collide in the sky. i love it, it is just what i wanted to be doing (if i wasnt going to be predicting stock futures in the aerospace industry) i am having mixed feelings and wonder if i will be here long after the economy recovers and it is possibe to be hired as a research analyst. i am coming to realize that though i love doing this, it is still work. i still have to come here everyday. i have not yet overcome the obstacle facing all those recently out of school. the work-life transition. arrrrrggghhh.
