I miss summer hours

This was the first full-day Friday after summer hours ended and the afternoon was a drag. I learned about the new deionized water system at work from about 1:30-2:00 and then that was about it for my productivity for the day. I had better things to do: check Ryder Cup scores (USA is up 5-2 with 1 match in progress), check the market and try to figure out what's best (still not too much of an idea), talk to Jolene, pretty much anything other than actual work.

I think I'm buying back into gold if GLD drops down near $80 again. I wish I would have had enough cash in my account earlier this week to get it before it jumped. This market is ridiculous and I think that's part of what's been keeping me up at night. They say that you're not properly diversified if you worry too much about your money, but I think most people are worried at least a little bit right now. With all the radical moves the Fed is making, it's really hard to even pretend to predict the next move.

I'd really like to play some poker tonight, but I'm not sure if I'll be awake or coherent enough later to play well.
