Depends on the test cycle.
Sometimes it is a 10 hour day for 6 of 7 days if we're behind.
Other times sit at the desk all day doing nothing waiting for the drop of the next software update.
Or, sitting at the test console, pushing a button or entering a command to start the simulation, sitting while the sim ran, download and analyze the results, rinse and repeat for 9 hours.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's
Sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quite desperation is the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more
To say
Post upper body w/o;
1 cup Siggi's skyr, 2 sevings protein powder, 1/2 cup blueberries, and a handful of walnuts plus 1/4 cup of milk to help blend.

Cut the neighbor's grass for 3 dollars. Had to get down on my knees and trim along the driveway with lawn scissors.
Fast food hamburger stand, Long John Silvers "seafood shoppe" where the oil would splash on my hands and arms when I dropped the fish in. After awhile i just ignored the burning of the hot oil.
Busboy at upscale restaurant.
Do it.
After years of suvs and trucks during my work life, after retiring I got the sports car bug. I'm too tall for a MX-5, found a '24 Toyota GR86 that puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

Interesting comments.
I say that because the last time I saw my cardiologist for a checkup post cardioversion, he poo-pooed the idea of creatine being beneficial. He said that it breaks down too rapidly after ingestion to be of any use and suggested BCAAs instead. FWIW, he raced MTBs at one time and still may.
Long black hair with dark brown eyes.
First long term girlfriend after hs had long dark brown hair down past her rear end.
Was great until she went with a page boy style cut.

To keep that old man a bay as long as possible.
The lyric from Sons of Legion's the song reminds me..."This life can't win if you don't bet
There's an old man coming, but he ain't here yet."
Pretty face, but no but so no care.

Had the same type a few times.
On a plane, but we never take off.
Always either a very long taxi in the airport, or the plane taxis through the town to get to the runway.
I remember looking out the window and seeing the street light poles go by and the power lines between the poles. It's like driving though town except in a passenger jet.
Graduated from university with my first degree in Russian Language.
Spent 3 summers in an intensive language program at Indiana University, a summer in Moscow and Leningrad (yeah, that long ago). Then worked for one of "Those Agencies" before I went back to school and got a physics/optics degree. Studying Italian now for the heck of it.
Yep, not sure what the company is thinking regarding "entry level".
Checking a defense contractor job listing for a entry level Systems Engineer, one of the desirements was experience using DOORS. DOORS is an application used to manage requirements.
How many new grads have ever used DOORS or ever seen it?
I'd bet next to 0.
Another one local, pretty much across the street from where we live now...
Cell phone murders" refers to a specific mass shooting in Huntsville, Alabama, on September 25, 1996, where three men killed four people in a house due to a dispute over a stolen cell phone. The perpetrators, Joey Wilson, Nicholas Acklin, and Corey Johnson, were arrested and charged with capital murder for the incident, which also left two others injured.
On February 12, 2010, University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) biology professor Amy Bishop shot and killed three colleagues and wounded three others during a department meeting. The victims were G.K. Podila, Maria Ragland Davis, and Adriel D. Johnson Sr.. Bishop, a neurobiologist, was denied tenure and opened fire during the meeting, later receiving a life sentence.

I remember listening to the radio news and they were interviewing the step daughter of one of the victims. She stated that she had tried to call her step mom but her step mom hadn't answered yet, not knowing that her step mom was one of the fatalities.
If you're just running on the roads, maybe look up some trails in your area. The attention required to keep upright on technical trails, plus the necessity to change paces/effort due to "non-flat" sections should help occupy your mind and make time pass faster
Yes, since high school i wanted a killer drum kit. Even built a house with a basement specifically to have a place to play what and when and as loud as I wanted.
Finally, after retirement got most of the kit I wanted. Now just adding piece by piece to get to the final configuration. Eyeing some killer looking and sounding "dark" cymbals.
Whoops! Got two versus discombobulated...knew it didn't feel right reciting in my head.
