I got out of the office today, as my boss and I went to visit a site I'm working on (drainage for a road widening project) - see how effective the existing drainage is? Australian law required us to wear obnoxiously bright orange shirts, vests, or jackets with bright yellow and silver reflective strips and huge blue "URS" letters on the back. I felt pretty spiffy. It was a little drizzly and really windy, but it was still great to get out from behind a computer.
This afternoon I received flowers from my wonderful URS-Austin friends, which was incredibly sweet and thoughtful of them (my birthday is coming up on Saturday). Phill and I are having a little shin dig at the house on Saturday. We'll see if I have any friends...
