So the government has shutdown. Hasn't really effected me at all. Neither did the introduction of Obamacare. But the stock market was up today. Don't really know what that means as I thought both things were supposed to hurt the economy. We'll see how this goes and how it will effect the debt limit debate in the next few weeks.

Work was very busy today. Interesting that yesterday was kinda slow and today was go go go and there's still more to do tomorrow. Which brings up an interesting dilemma about leaving. When I worked as an intern my hours were pretty much set. Now I can really come and go any time so it's hard to know when it's okay to leave. And I can't just be the first one there and last one to leave since people work literally all the time. It's been weird trying to figure that out.

The morning was spent analyzing a sample of failed material for a customer. Did get some results as to what happened to the material but don't really have a root cause as we don't know if it was cracked when we shipped it or it cracked while they were machining it. It probably did not crack at our place because it would have failed in line testing but we can't prove that with the stuff the customer gave us.

The afternoon was really spent working more on what came out of a visit to the company we've been having straightness problems with. We've got some ideas but are really working on getting them implemented and getting back to them quickly. Should keep me busy for a few days.

Run again was slow. Felt easy but it used to feel similar to run 7 min pace. We'll see how things go.
