Riverwalk - San Antonio

It was 86 degrees today. Work went well. I spent most of the day listening to Debbie answer all the questions and pretending to listen the people asking them. Then I did get to interview "the oldest lady in the Air Force," as she described herself. I honestly don't know how some people can claim to work 40 hours a week. I might be one of those people, but I'm meeting a lot of people that make me feel better about it.

What I really do... basically, if you've ever seen the movie Office Space and can remember Bob and Bob, the human resource consultants, then you know what I do. I visit Air Force bases and ask the finance people what they do. I try to find efficiencies so we can free up bodies and make those who are left a little bit busier. I'm a dick. I know it. I feel terrible. Especially since the people I interview are either old enough to be my grandparents or are freshly enlisted just out of high school. On a positive note, given the slow pace of the government, by the time any of my recommended changes are implemented, the people I interviewed will be dead, retired, deployed over seas, or well on their way to a better job, seriously.

I decided to go swimming after work. Bad idea. 86 degrees doesn't translate to warm water. The water was so cold, I had excrutiating pain in my tooth and I had to get out. Hot tub was nice.

We had dinner on the famous Riverwalk. Great place to hang out. A ton of good restaurants and bars. Not a whole lot of young people out on a Wed night, but we took it easy tonight so we can go out big tomorrow night. I'll let you know how that goes.
