Today Christopher and Co. returned from their trip out to the wilderness. He’s been keeping in touch via a somewhat spotty satellite uplink but now he’s back and things are back to normal — though not for long.
Tim leaves for a voyage down to Mexico for fun in the sun and will be sorely missed as there is a substantial volume of work to be done over the course of the next week. We spent much of today handing off projects, catching up, and generally focusing on the tasks at hand for upcoming week. Christopher and I will man the fort while Tim enjoys margaritas and swordfish under the blazing sun.

So this past week Christopher took some time off to enjoy family time, the great outdoors, s’mores, and patchy wireless reception on his iPhone.
That leaves just Tim and I to hold down the fort™, which has been going very smoothly beside my brief tango with sickness yesterday. Having Christopher out can be strange at times as Tim and I are very focused and vocally reserved while working. I often realize that we haven’t said anything for an hour and that we’ve been listening to a strange internet radio station for even longer than I could recall. Having Christopher away generally means an increase in writing down missed calls and an increase in the importance of being self-directed as an intern. Staying focused is even more important when there isn’t someone behind you poking you with a stick and addressing you as intern™.
