Well, I have had an interesting day thus far and last night was pretty fun, too. Last night, I got to spend my first night working on Console (actually just watching) for the International Space Station (ISS). Most of what was going on was relatively boring...just watching to make sure that things don't go wrong. But there were parts to the night that were pretty cool. During the course of the 8 hour shift, the guy that I was shadowing made 6 or 7 software updates to the ISS to make certain things happen. Kinda cool to know that simple presses of buttons down here on Earth can make such major changes to something nearly 200 miles above us. I think that the coolest part of the day was right before I left, when they woke up the astronauts on the Shuttle (Discovery). Apparently, there was a message for the astronaut from the European Space Agency from his family. And I got ro hear him talk live on the communication channels. :)

Today, however, has been slightly less fun. I spent nearly 90 minutes at the store trying to remedy the delivery issue that I have. (By the way, I am trying to keep it anonomous because this is a very unusual problem for this store and I don't want to influence peoples' decisions to shop at this store.) In the end, I have a new delivery scheduled for this Saturday, I managed to get a small discount on the item purchased, and I am working on getting another $50 for the mess that they have put me through. I should know more shortly. Still no news on my kitchen table or desk. However, I am going to be calling the table store shortly to see what is going on.

That is about all for now. I will talk to you all tomorrow, most likely.
