Some days, you start out with the feeling that it's not going to be a fun day.

I woke up tired, but got going in time to catch the early bus.

So far, I've told one of the profs that the undergrad who she had doing her web page doesn't really know what he's doing, then I spent some time stripping all the extra frontpage garbage out of her web pages and making all of the links work (linking to the next page as a file on your C: drive really won't work).

Then I went up to my bosses lab, fixed her water softener, and called the Carpenters to see how much it would cost to have all of the vinyl tile on the floor replaced - it's been leaking for a long time, and at least half of her lab will need to be redone. I gave the boss the news, and she's going to talk to her group to see why no one noticed it earlier. The polishing machine in her lab uses RO filtered water, which has to be softened before filtering. The softener has a stainless steel inlet body/bypass valve combination, so when I set it up, I put dielectric bushings between the stainless and the copper water lines. The leaks were at the dielectrics, which leaked through the threaded joint on the supply side, and through a crack in the nylon on the return side.
