We had a production push this morning for the project portfolio software that I’ve been working on for the last year or so. There are eight business units that are part of the overall push, and today was the third one that we pushed into production. It meant a long morning for me, running some final tests, then doing the production push and validating the results. I think it went well, overall.
Otherwise, a relatively quiet day, which was nice for a change. The weather started out muggy, but ended up beautiful. I came home from work and read for a while (I am really, really enjoying Scalzi’s The Ghost Brigades, which is a sequel to Old Man’s War) and then I managed to fall asleep on the couch for 40 minutes or so. Let me be clear that this was not due to Scalzi’s book, which I was fighting tooth and nail to keep reading. I was just exhausted. I didn’t sleep well last night (at least not until around 2 AM) and I think I needed the extra sleep.
Picked Kelly up from work and we had scrambled eggs (with cheese and peppers) for dinner. Watched a little TV and then headed to the gym. The gym was unusually busy. No ellipticals available. So I ran on the treadmill. I ran for 15 minutes before my knee started to act up. It was the longest treadmill run I’ve done in years, about 1.25 miles. I was pleased even though it wasn’t all that far. I didn’t push it though. My poor knee is getting older and can’t take that much and I need to treat it well.
Finally got around to paying my Virginia property tax today. $24 formy car. I imagine I’ll get my sticker sometime soon.
Kelly is going out with a friend after work tomorrow and I plan on making some good progress on the workshop story. I’ve got a busy workday tomorrow on the books. Something like 4 hours of meetings, if I remember correctly.
Apparently, we are in the midst of financial chaos today. Oh goodie. Perfect timing for, say, an election year. Am I the only one who sees this housing bubble debacle as nothing more than a rerun of the Dot Com bust back at the turn of the century? Only instead of technology, it’s financial companies. I guess this is what happens when people try to get rich quickly. Thank goodness I’ve never wanted to get rich quickly.
