A Matter of Priorities

Today is the first day in a few weeks that I have managed to leave work on time.  And by on time, I mean that I worked my 8 hours, said "I'm done." and actually left without interruption.

Some people have an evening routine - workout, read, watch the tube, whatever.  Getting home around dinner time + taking care of a new, young kitten have kind of disrupted this pattern for me. Not today, though.  I made a beeline for that gate, and nothing was going to stop me.

So what did I do with my extra 1.5 hours of freedom? 

I built this nonsense:

That, friends, is the world's ugliest DIY airzooka.  One empty juice bottle, two rubber bands, a plastic bag, and some duct tape.  Does it work?  Yes.  Does it put out candles?  If you stand about 2 feet away from the flame, it will.  Is it weaker than a person just blowing in your face?  Probably.

Do I care?

Absolutely not.

I occasionally build pointless nonsense, and I am OK with that. 

Until the next.
