Spring, it seems, is here, if only after at least five hours' warming of the area by the sun. Even though it means that the hated summer is fast approaching, I still found it nice to ride home comfortably in shirtsleeves and shorts. It was especially nice this afternoon at work, too-- we were doing a plot plan for some dude in Lake Forest Park, and the lot was neatly bisected by McAleer Creek, which gave the whole thing a charmingly bucolic pastoral feel-- I mean, if you could ignore the traffic on Bothell way and the gawking joggers on the Burke-Gilman. Jesus. You'd think those people had never seen a damn tripod before, the way some of 'em were rubbernecking.

Also, I did contours for the first time today, and they actually came out not too terribly far off how they should have-- I still have some minor editing to do, but the plat I'm working on is just about ready for a lot layout.

Oh, and I got a raise, too. Only about 6.6%, but as queueball pointed out, that's still a lot better than an average cost-of-living increase, which is apparently around 3%. Pretty cool, considering I've only been a full employee for about a month. So... yeah. Go me.
