If it looks like it works, and it feels like it works, then it works.

So it turns out Leon is not Brief-Case-Guy. I'm glad, cuz that guy looked all too serious. He is however still a Leon, but only because I found out that he is good at tennis. Apparently that's his sport; so in honor of Pinkie's first and now forgotten racket named Leon, I won't come up with another name.

Regardless, he doesn't look like a Leon. From far away you think he's a normal person, then when he gets closer you realize he's a giant. He's not one of those tall skinny guys, and he's not fat; he's just tall. But he seems like a nice guy. Of course, I doubt he'll put chocolate in my drawer like Traves, and unlike my 3 last bench mates we don't have religion in common to talk about on Sundays, but that's not really a big deal and he does seem nice. It wasn't necessary, just more of a nice benefit than anything else. And he's learning pretty quickly, which is better than I could have hoped for.

Having said that, I'm not looking forward to work today. Oh sure, I'm at work all ready, but I just feel a doozy of a day coming on. I have a headache, and I was going to donate platelets today, but I'm thinking I'm going to cancel my appointment because I don't feel so good. Thankfully I won't have to train at all today, Traves is taking care of it, but still I'm ready to go home now. We had a bit of a nasty day yesterday. This entire last week, after a hiatus of two months without any real problems, the UniCAP 1000 at long last showed its true colors yet again by breaking down a little every day I worked. Only yesterday, however, was it bad enough to put us a day behind. So now I have to make up for yesterday, deal with some nasty sample issues, and pray that it decides to work today. Knock on wood.
