So it is 10 PM and I am sitting in my office at work, having enjoyed several happy hours with work friends (and a few drinks, too). I am waiting until I feel a bit more sober than I do at the moment, in order to catch a train home. I’m planning on leaving in…
I’ve got two more short meetings to go and then I am done for the day! And as it turns out, there is a fairly big happy hour being planned at Chammps after work and I plan on attending. I can make use of my $50 in gift certificates that I won at the Christmas…
I was up at 4:30 AM and into the office by 5:40. However, I skipped my cardio workout this morning. I managed to acquire a rather nasty stomach ache on the train ride into work this morning. I don’t know about you, but I don’t workout well–especially cardio–with a stomach ache. So although this means…

I am feeling somewhat better than I did in the middle of the night, although I am still home and taking it easy today. I suspect that this is somewhat stress-related. I have gotten very good at minimizing my work-related stress by keeping reasonable work hours (7 AM – 4 PM) and sticking to them.…
I woke up about an hour ago (3 AM-ish) feeling blah, so I decided to take a sick day today. In some ways, I am really too busy to take a sick day (I’m skipping 2 meetings, and I have a ton and a half of work to do). But it might not have mattered…
I was in a long-winded meeting that I have to attend once a month. I was already in a bad mood because of a potential project that may get dumped on our group. The meeting did not help any. Me and another person in this office attended the meeting in my office via a conference…

Today was a busy day. I’d been out of the office for two days and I had a lot to catch up on. Forget all of the email that had piled up in my inbox. There was really work to be done. Well, I did it. I was tearing it up today, working like a…
Regular readers of this blog can probably tell that I was unusually busy yesterday. I posted only one entry for the entire day. I was so busy, in fact, that I decided to take the night off. When I got home, I did nothing, no reading, no writing, no revisions. I sat in front of…
The first three days of this week seem unusually busy. I had a briefing I had to give yesterday, among other things. Today, I am in meetings from 11:30 AM until 4 PM, including a briefing that I have to give between 11:30 and 1 PM. Tomorrow (so far) I am in meetings from 11…
I worked my way through 16 bug and enhancement issues in the bug database today and there are only a handful of enhancement requests left so I think I’m in good shape. I have to give a briefing on this application tomorrow, and another briefing on Tuesday. But I made good progress and I am…
