Nothing in particular.

To quote ursula_v, I got a "blazing shitload"* of work done yesterday. A major project has been, if not put to bed, at least put in its jammies and sent to brush its teeth. I got to offer a full-time job to the temp I've had part-time for a few months. And I finally remembered to bring music to the office, which I'm certain has increased my productivity and improved my mood.

Though the morning started off with almost no mojo whatsoever, I was able to recover in time to inflict a french braid upon the freshly shampooed head of Princess Boredom before she left for school. Gimme some.

Heard a song on the radio that I'm wanting to get now: Let's Get It Started (Black Eyed Peas). Good for some booty-shakin' on the commute, that one. Uh-huh. Nice layers to the rhythm and building of the energy. Princess !Kaboom liked it too. (We got very into the oo-hoo! bit toward the end.)

The sun is shining and the new moon hits on Sunday. Gentlemen, start your engines, cuz mine is starting to purr. ::rowr::

*I'll have to research how this compares to the measurement of a metric goatload of work, but I suspect it has something to with a formula involving mass and a rate of time.

all units in metric, of course

A burning dung cake releases approximately 6-8 kJ/g.

A standard pack goat is capable of carrying approximately 23 kg. To accelerate 23 kg at 1 m/s/s requires 23 J. The average pack goat weighs around 100 kg, so it is capable of providing 2.3 X 10^-7 kJ/g.

Ergo, in energetic terms it takes something like 30,434,782 metric goatloads to equal a single blazing shitgram. Still to be resolved, how many shitgrams are there in a shitload?

(And to put all of this in perspective, one shitgram would light a 60-watt light bulb for about a tenth of a second.)

Ah. Free time. I remember free time. *sigh*

Not free time, actually. My most effective study breaks are studyig other subjects -- helps keep me from getting sucked into a movie or book or something. 15 minutes of googling goats and doing some physics calculations is a break from French.
