Fighting through the bureaucracy

Day 291 of 1000

I worked from home today while Lorena ran around like a maniac trying to get immunization papers to NCSU so the kids would not have all their classes canceled and have to start all over putting their fall schedules together.  We got ominous notes from the Health Office at NCSU telling us that if we did not have our immunization records to them, they would cancel the classes and it would be almost impossible to get all the ones they had before because everyone who had their immunization records already in would have first pick.  She got most of it done, but we were all a wreck by the end of the day.  Right now, they tell us Christian needs a shot that we believe he does not really need so we got additional paperwork we will take to NCSU tomorrow.

In the meantime, I programmed all day on a very cool project that will have a pretty big impact on a pretty big industry that has its facilities by the beach in Wilmington, NC.  How sad is that.  I have to spend my day in Wilmington tomorrow.  It is a nice drive of only about two hours and I get good food along the way!  I wish I could be working on my side project, but there will not be time until I finish up some more of my GaugeCam stuff.  I probably will not get to write tomorrow because I will drive out early, drive in late, and work in-between.  We are having a barbecue tomorrow night with our Mexican buddies, so that will be good, but it does not give me much time to work on side projects.

Thanks Gene for inspiring me to write about this stuff.  I am going to start buying some new hardware in a bit to do the project and I will try to show some pictures here.
