Finally did something useful yesterday. Did a bunch of useful things actually. Actually went to a client yesterday as planned. Reviewed a list of 7 primary reports and three secondary reports that need to be developed over the next 4-5 weeks. I will be acting as the PM on this project which means I only need to pop in occasionally to check up on the report developer. In addition I will be acting as the mentor for the client to help plan out and develop the next generation of their dashboards which will hit in September or October. Besides that, I was confirmed for another six days of onsite training at a client in September. Right now I have two and a half solid weeks of training this month and then 10 out of 21 days in September already booked. Good. I can stay invisible for a while.

Reminder - I think today is my dad's birthday. I need my sister to confirm. I know hers is the 13th and my buddy's is the 24th. I just can't remember for sure if my dad's is today. Please confirm this if you are reading sis.

In other news, the kid is in a better mood because she got her Burning Man ticket yesterday. They had 1000 last minute tickets on sale and she managed to snag one. In about 10 days she is off to the desert to light things on fire. You go knucklehead.

After meeting with the client I went and ran some errands. Picked up my insurance cards for the car, hit Target, and had lunch with a friend. We owed each other lunch for our respective birthdays so we paid for each other's check. Silly but fun. We went to Cheesecake Factory. Not because the food is great but because it was close. I paid for that later in the day for sure. Got home and B needed to run some errands too. Back out I went.

I had one of those days yesterday where I felt like I was running all over town. Back and forth. Which I hate. I survived it. We got home and I did some more work while B went and laid down. She had a migraine coming on and needed to rest. I had a conference call and afterwards my stomach started bugging me. I went and laid down and ended up passing out for two hours. Not cool. When she got up she wanted a burrito which I got for her. I was not hungry and later had leftover pizza. Mistake number two for my stomach.

I tried playing Sims later and had a corrupted file which just pissed me off. I ended up having to restart a new Sim. Got frustrated and went to bed around 10. She came in a little later but was up until 12:30 or 1 because she slept during the day and was feeling rumbly from her burrito.

All in all a mediocre day at best. Here's hoping today is better.
