Drove 300 miles today.
It's my goddaughter's birthday tomorrow, and I'd planned on visiting this weekend, and due largely to my procrastination bit being set, "this weekend" suddenly became "Sunday". So. I was about to bail out at 12pm when I needed to perform some friendship duties, because that's what being a friend is about, and then I hit the road at about 1 and arrived Chez Niece at 4ish. Spent two hours there, then drove to the folks' house (another 15 minutes down the road), met my own godmother, plus an uncle and an aunt, got fed, chatted with dad, piled back in the car and made myself a new record Youghal/Dublin time. I will note in passing that averaging 50MPH over 150 miles in this country means you're probably breaking the law at some point, but I did err on the side of Not Being An Asshole Driver.
Elsewhere, jeez. It's kinda funny helping someone through a situation I've been through myself when they're the reason I'd been through said situation, but it does give me a useful point of view.
And elsewhere, work work work. I'm giving serious thought to doing some extra-office activity in order to accomplish a task that will otherwise be put on the long finger as unbillable. Either I love my job, or I'm an unsaveable geek.
