Much to do

It's a very busy week, but before I get going on that, three cheers for Martinez and his creative list of outlawed phrases.

This week is crazy for me, you may not see many posts. (No comments needed on that.)
I am working 8-5 at HCJB, trying to write an overlay manager for the Sharc 21262 in assember. It needs to do two program and one memory overlay. It also need to have seperate load, test, and execute commands on a per-overlay basis. I feel quite out of my league. With any luck our resident Genius, Herb, will write it in a day as he simultaneously learns C++. He's just not human.
Nights I am working 6-10 at the county fair. Our fair is very large. Consequently, what would normally be a 10 minute drive takes 30, and on top of that I have a 10 minute walk from my parking place to the booth I'm running.
But, once I get there my only responsibility is to talk to people about computers and to entertain myself with NFS 5 or our 3D fish screen-saver. It looks beautiful on our 22" LCD display. Widescreen. On a Gf 5900. PCI Express. Dual monitors too.
So maybe that job isn't so bad... but it does get to one's feet after four hours.
Anywho, that's the rap, busy, full, well paid, and quite tiring. My final word:
Bring on the semester, I've had my summer, its been good, and it needs to end soon.
