One of our satellites seems to be acting up. I wonder if that's a result of the latest solar magnetic activity, which lead to this beautiful sight the other day:

lol Anik sat issue is due to some weird software glitch. I wonder if they accidentally said "yes" to an update. :p All the telemetry stuff is working though so they did not lose contact with it or anything so that's good.

It would actually be neat to see what is involved with talking with these satellites, like software/hardware wise.

Fairly quiet at work, I think I might do a timmy's run, hopefully no phone calls come in. Not really any different than going for a #2 though, takes about the same amount of time.

I'm not as tired as I figured I'd be, I think coffee is helping. It's probably going to hit me hard around 4-5 though.

I still feel like an idiot for miss reading the schedule, that could have ended badly, thankfully I was only like 5 minutes late.
