Nice, Sean. Welcome back. From your disposition, it sounds like you had fun. Not too rainy, I hope?

Nope. It only rained a couple of times for a really short period. The first round of rain lasted about 10 minutes or so while we were in a show so we totally missed it. The only other rain period happened when we went back to the hotel for an hour or so one afternoon so the kids (err...maybe daddy) could take a nap. It was heatwave though. Most days it was around 85 degrees (celsius) and humidity of course near the 200% mark.
The Star Wars stuff was awesome. Had a character meet and greet with Chewie and Darth Vader. Lots of stromtroopers walking around "on patrol" and plenty of jawas scattered about.
Here is Lord Vader making sure I inform him if I hear any information regarding the plans.

The heatwave is supposed to be ending in the next day or two so you should be able to enjoy some really nice weather. Enjoy!!

I think so. Says mid-upper 70s for the space coast.

Looks like they're predicting up around 50F on Monday, though...
Still cool, but not like what we've got right now...

True that.

The way things go around here this week and next, I think they should just make it official...
Starting 7 working days before X-Mas, each day you take one hour off the number of hours people have to work...
So by the day before the holiday, you come in for about 2hrs and head out to enjoy the holiday with family and friends (or if you're a procrastinator, shopping for gifts...)

So if they make it official, would it match what already happens at your office?

It'd be close, it'd be close...
Fewer and fewer people here as it gets closer to the holiday, and the ones who are here (even to some extent myself) get slower and slower...

I'm much more in favor of the "Come in late and leave early to make up for it" policy. 😀
