Fortune on my side

*The meeting with the group members for my class went well and I now know what I am doing.
*Birthday for someone at work led to a long coffee and cake break.
*The boss is back at work.
*Attended an alumni meeting with excellent food and drink (yay free booze).
*I also won a door prize of a 4 gig Ipod nano.

So it is safe to say that I lucked out. The Ipod was also needed since the old one was dying on me.
