[Posted on April 20th because of problems accessing LJ last night.]
Whew! It was one busy day today. All week I’ve been preparing for an important training session that I was running today for software that I have been developing for one of our research divisions. Today was training day. It went well, but I’m glad it’s over. I woke up this morning with the same nervous feeling I had when I was six years old and had to attend a doctors appointment at which I knew I’d be getting a shot of some kind. Through the entire morning, I kept telling myself, before you know it, it will be 6 PM and the training will be all over.
The training began at 1 PM and by 3 PM, it was over. It went well, particularly since it involved hands-on training across multiple platforms and browsers. The feedback was positive. There were a few bugs but the software has just gone into formal testing and it is my hope that it can be released to production a week from now.
So it was with a feeling of great relief that I rode the train home last night. I had been building up more and more steam all week, working toward this and I was glad to finally be done with it. I keep a detailed log of what I do each day at work, and for those interested in just how busy I was this week, you can check out the log behind the cut below.)

I stopped at the grocery store on the way home to pick up a few groceries, including new toothpaste. I still had plenty of the old toothpaste, but I’ve grown to hate the particular flavor and needed something more familiar.
Once home, I purposely spent the evening relaxing on the couch in front of the TV. I didn’t feel like doing anything else and I felt I deserved the break. I tried to update my LiveJournal over a period of several hours but was, for some reason, unable to access the site.
