Calm

Although I am headed off overseas in 5 days, today was surprisingly calm.  I worked on a new circuit board which I'll have printed after I leave (and maybe forwarded to me while I am away).  In the middle of my work there was a power outage on campus and unfortunately the schematic I was working on at the time was corrupted.  It was a nuisance to lose a couple hours worth of effort, but I was able to quickly reproduce my work.  In the afternoon, I continued to prepare for my trip; carefully laying out equipment to pack and double checking the parts to make sure there are no errors or missing pieces.  I am still waiting for my new PCBs, but I am confident those will find their way to the lab tomorrow.  Also, I expect a pile of parts from the mechanical workshop, which will also need to be prepared for my trip.
