I’ve come up with an idea to post just a summary of my week in order to have posts on a regular basis, so here’s my first go at it.

At work this week, I actually got to do work instead of waiting around. For those that don’t know, I’m in the DC area in Virginia doing some computer programming for a summer internship. I’m supposed to be done in several weeks too, so I have just a short time to get some stuff done, but now I have something to do.

On a non-job related note, for the first month I was here, the weather was beautiful and cool in the 70s. This week, however, the heat kicked in with temperatures getting into the high 90s and 100s. Summer is definitely here now, and I’ve had to take my workouts inside.

When shopping at Giant (local grocery chain), I was buying meat for dinners of the week and I went to the self checkout. It took 10 minutes for the person in front of me to buy a small tub of butter, and no, I’m not exaggerating on the time. Just a FYI, you don’t put the barcode between the two pieces of glass where the scanner can’t read it.

In the news, the BP oil spill still ranks on the top in all the news networks, US lost to Ghana, and England got creamed by Germany.

That’s for my first wound-up. Comment on if you like it or not, or suggest things for me to talk about in the wound-ups.
