Friday cat blogging

[andyhat]

I should really update this thing more often. I've been reading lots of good stuff, and since my last update there was Baycon and Trinoc*Con and lots of other stuff, but right now I'm in between a red eye from SFO to RDU and tomorrow's overnight from RDU to LGW (and hence to Worldcon), so I'm more interested in sleep.

However, it was necessary today to test the camera newly acquired for the Worldcon trip. And so, joining the grand tradition of Friday cat blogging, I am pleased to present, in her first ever appearance in the medium of digital photography, the real Sadie (not to be confused with the fake one in my usericon):

I can't stand it anymore.

What the heck do you do for a living? I mean, dude, you travel more than most salespeople I know. You must be an install engineer or consultant or something... right?

Yep, I'm a consultant, implementing ETL processes for large and/or complex data warehousing environments using Ab Initio. I live in Raleigh, the consulting company I work for is based in Chicago, and through December I'm at a client in Foster City, CA (which is halfway between San Francisco and San Jose). Since I really like coming home weekends, that does mean I'm racking up a lot of frequent flier miles.

I figured as much, though based on your voracious reading habits I pondered the idea that you might be some big-shot book reviewer, or publishing agent or something. :)

(Hmmm, telecom solutions...)
