Working Remotely, Knitting and Other Stuff

So Fermilab is cool right? It’s also about an hour away from my apartment. And so part of the deal of this new jobs is I get to work at Northwestern some days a week which is a very nice commute for me. No more shoving myself onto the el like a sardine! Yay! Win!

However. [...]

Whew!

Wow. What a whirlwind few days already this week. Both days so far this week I’ve been at Fermilab getting accounts and getting reacclimated to physics code. Read: not the prettiest thing in the world. However, it seems to be like riding a bike and so I’m back in ROOT, and fitting distributions and all [...]

Changes

Everyone says, “It’ll change when the baby comes. You’ll see.” I get a lot of “You’ll see”. I don’t like it. I’ll see what? Why won’t people let me figure it out for myself. I’m sure they are right, and I’ll see whatever it is they are talking about. But maybe I’ll have a different [...]

Quick Update

in 10 minutes!

So my awesome 5am-11pm plan didn’t work out so well. Shocking right? Turns out I’m not 21 anymore. Damn.

In fact I think the not enough sleeping got me pretty sick as I was out for the count on Tuesday this week. But then feeling a lot better yesterday. I don’t know. I think [...]

Mother’s Day!

What a wonderful weekend! Saturday was pretty relaxed…or must have been because I can’t really remember what we did. I think we went running….but yeah don’t really remember. So let’s just talk about Sunday. Quickly because it’s almost time for working time.

Sunday I woke up at 5 and tried something new. Instead of waiting for [...]

Perfect Work Day?

For the most part we all work 9-5 (ish). But if you had your choice what would your pefect day be? Also what would your work space consist of? I am way more of an early morning person (thanks mom and dad!) than an afternoon person. I just am more focused for some reason. Maybe [...]

Awake…But jspec Hates Me

Hey hey hey 5am. You are so pretty!

I really like getting up early.

I don’t like when I can’t get anything done.

Jason and I tried to play ProjectEuler in javascript this morning. This is by far the weakest of the three languages that we are working with for both of us. This is bad for me [...]

Weekend Roundup

So here we go. Starting and ending weeks with roundup posts? Sounds good to me.

This past weekend was a little more calm that the usual JasonLeahLucy does 8 billion things. Which was a nice change of pace. I had been hearing about how horrible the weather was going to be all weekend so I was [...]

Weekly Roundup

So what’s all this talk about software and knitting and baby Lucy and whatever else? Isn’t this a running blog?

Wait…what is this blog?

I started this blog back in grad school when Jason and I had desks in the basement of the D-Zero detector building, right next to the machine. Seriously. We had nothing, no phone, [...]

The Schedule I'd Like to Keep

So. I’m a busy person. I have a ton of hobbys, obviously a new mom and then of course the 9-5 job. SO since I’ve come back to work I’ve been trying to fit in all the following things:

photography
knitting
work
practice for work
parenting
running
reading
blogging

That’s eight things that really could be full time work (well maybe not running…well if [...]
