Why am I writing
early? Two reasons. Number one, tomorrow is opening day for
the Architects, Contractors & Engineers Softball League of San
Francisco. Last year, we claimed
the dubious prize of “First Place in the Non-Competitive Playoff”, which I think
is equivalent to a participation trophy.
So we have middling success.
The contractors, being bigger, stronger, and scarier, consistently beat
up on all the skinny architects and engineers. While I’d like to think architects’ coolness advantage over
engineers translates into softball wins, that is not always the case. Tomorrow we play a team of contractors,
so it may be a tough night for the defending Non-Competitive Playoff
Champs.
Number two, I am
procrastinating studying for my Building Systems exam (aptly abbreviated
“BS”). I’m supposed to study
electrical systems tonight, but I’m having trouble relocating from the couch to
the desk. On Saturday, when I was
supposed to study plumbing systems, somehow I ended up taking a six-hour nap. So motivation has been a tough thing to
muster. I’m very ready to be done
with these tests. Two more to go,
then the California exam, then I will be an architect. Why does it take longer to become an
architect than it does to become a doctor…we do not get paid nearly enough for
this.
Anyways, in honor of my flooded, beloved Houston and Way
Back Wednesday (which I thought I invented until I just googled it), I will close with one of my all-time
favorite Youtube videos. I
remember seeing this on the news while we waited for Hurricane Ike to make
landfall. I’m so glad it’s on
Youtube. It just tickles me. I may account for all 79,000 views.
