Its Friday

I know this is my second post today, but I have more stuff to say. I guess I'm getting addicted to blogging. Maybe my blog will get really popular and I can drop out of school and become a full time blogger. Although, if I was a full time blogger, blogging probably wouldn't be much fun anymore because it would be my job and jobs aren't supposed to be fun.

The reason I am writing this second post of the day is because I have two exciting things to share: A) I finally got the programs I was writing to work and B) its Friday.

If you recall the post I wrote about last Friday in which I wrote (blogged) about myself being frustrated by some programming, well, I got it to work. It took me a week to do, but that's partly because I had to brush up on my LabView skillz before I really got started and I spent approximately half of the week blogging and doing other non-work related things while at work. I'm very proud of my work, so I am going to share some of it with you:
Isn't that pretty! Unfortunately that was just the beginning part of the whole programming project I'm working on and it is going to get much more difficult from here. Now on to the next reason I'm excited.

Like the title and reason B) says, its Friday. You may be saying to yourself, "its not Friday, its Thursday. That Rider kid is completely wrong and probably on crack." And technically you would be correct (except for the crack part). Sure its not actually Friday, but for me its Friday because I am not coming into work tomorrow. I asked my Professor (aka Boss) if I could take off tomorrow so I can got to New York(!) with James and he said sure (I think he said yes because he was so impressed with my programming). As you know (or at least, for your fathers sake, i hope you know) that fathers day is this weekend and James' father, John, happens to live in New York City. John asked James to come up and visit for fathers day, but Z-dog said that James could not drive alone. Duncan and I volunteered to be his C0-pilot and C0-Co-pilot (although, it is still unclear whom is going to assume each title, I'm pretty sure I've got the former locked down). Now, there are two reasons I jumped at this opportunity: A) I've never been to New York and B) it will give me stuff to blog about.

The current plan is to leave tonight after Duncan gets off work and drive up to James' house in NoVa and spend the night there. On Friday morning we will drive the rest of the way up to NYC. There are some tentative plans involving James' Sister(!) taking us to a "Glam Rock" party on Friday night and many, many other fun things.

McVey's summer just got owned.

I guess I should get back to work for a few more hours....
