Well this morning I was in a good mood.  I got out of bed early, got out of the shower early, and got downstairs a little early.  I was able to update stuff in four of my online games and Laila and I got our prayers done.  So it was starting out to be a great day.

Since I am starting DAMA today and the first three lessons are on power point I figured I would do the intro today and let them loose for the day so I could finish up the lesson 4 power point which I will not be teaching until Monday.

I got here a little early and lit off the lab.  I updates out lab light off procedures yesterday and my new sheet for lighting off the simulator and Master Control Station worked really well with no bugs at all.

I then lit off the bays.  Yesterday I was having a huge problem with number 5 but it came right up this morning.  In fact 3, 5, and 7 all came up really quick and 8 was being fussy.  It took an hour and a half to come up.  I then started bouncing some things around in my head about that situation and now that I remember some of the history, the last bay and it can be any of the four always takes forever to come up.  So now I am thinking that it might have something to do with our software.  It can not be the bays themselves and I do not think it can be the Master Control Station so I am thinking maybe something is limiting us in the software.  I am afraid to mess with that or I might take the whole lab down, so I will just continue to have patience until ET1 Moore and I can look at the software.

I was just lighting the lab off so I could show them what the overall system looks like with everything on and talking back and forth so it was not that big a deal.  I will just have to come in a little earlier on lab days to make sure it all comes up before the students get here in the morning.

I got through this morning lecture.  It was a long one as the new curriculum combined the first four lessons into one large lesson.  It took up the whole morning, but it was a bunch of fun to be teaching again.

I then sent them home and then tried to open up the power point I found yesterday a guess what.  I opened it up and it said click to add slide.  In other words that power point is blank so I have to go back home and find the real one that I was working on.  And it had better be there or I am going to be really angry at myself. 

So the boss just came through and old us we could go home for the day, great news, so I will go home and look for and then work on that file for Monday.
