Easter weekend etc.

This weekend it's just one roommate and me as the other is in Boston to see a friend and the Red Sox home opener. Not sure yet what I'll do tonight... but it will probably start out on Grand Ave. as usual. I wanted to go to a Twins game this weekend but I realized that if I didn't have tickets by now, they'll be nosebleeders as we're playing the Yankees for the first weekend series at home.

Sunday I'm going back the 'rents house for Easter which should be nice as I haven't been there for a while now.

One thing I've known about myself for a long time is that I can't help but be competitive if there's competing to be done. I sometimes hate it, as I get all worked up over something trivial. For instance, yesterday at work our manager had everyone in the lab draw out a floor plan for our new setup as we are expanding. Someone decided to see how many instruments we could fit in our given space, and I instantly had to try to one-up him rather than make an efficient lab setup. IMO it's stupid how competetive my nature makes me sometimes but I just can't help it. I just have to tell myself "it's not a competition" and I can usually reason myself to sanity. But damn it I hate that first impulse.

I hate missing the nice weather outside as I'm inside without a window view, boo hoo. Maybe I can get out on the golf course this weekend, I'd like that. We'll see...
