At 10pm last night after 8 and a half hours

I get my last comp. I was tired and drained but ok. I just wanted out of the office and on my way home. I met Anne on her way home at Bay station. We were in good spirits. Anne made her chili and rice bowl and pumpkin pie with whipped cream for desert, yum.
  
Update: I wrote before the update this morning after I had a good 7 hour sleep. I'm ready to go for another 8.5 on the job today. The first thing I do when I get into the building is go to the elevator, press the button for my appropriate floor, buzz to get into the office, go to the board and look at the sheet of paper posted as to what project I'm doing for the day. If I'm on the current project, good. If not and my colleagues are doing my current project, I know I've been pulled from my current project. (That means a talk with the boss because usually I've done something wrong the day before) If all looks good from there then I check to see where I'm seated according to the seating plan posted on the board, hang up my coat, get my folder, put it on my station, check to see how much time I have before I need to log in. Then I'll have half a sandwich or something with my insulin in the lunchroom, scan the Sun or Metro, a brief bathroom break get back to my station, log in open the project and I'm ready to go.  
     Yesterday I had one of my colleagues from Sri Lanka sit across from me on the other side of the partition and later in the day the respondent could barely hear me because she was so loud. My Sri Lanka colleague is a nice lady  and one of "the regulars" but the Respondent couldn't get half of what I said and a 15 minute survey would have taken 35 minutes, tops. I was having a slow day as it was. One of the regular supervisors knows this about my colleague and would have taken appropriate measures. I think on the day I might have had 6 completions (cmp's) possibly 7.
     I was more or less ok with the day I had. I would  have had a few more but several Respondents bailed on me. Every day I can do this current project is a blessing. I really like it.         
     
Temperature wise we're sitting at +6* right now and apparently we're reaching a high of +10. Sunday -2, Monday -7, holiday Tuesday -8. Today looks like our best day until about mid-late March.
    
I'm still researching motherboards for my pc build.  I'm looking at a i5 or possibly a A8 cpu, 32 Gb Ram, and a 4Tb hard drive. Most likely in 5-8 years or so consumers will begin to see Petabyte hard drives. For the moment though a 4Tb drive will suit my needs, for now. Anyway, that's all for now.
