Well, I closed about 11 bugs on the application today (some took longer than others, some were enhancements, not bugs) and I’m actually pretty pleased with my overall progress. More tomorrow. AJ called a little while ago to tell me they’d be here by about 7:20 PM, which is only 50 minutes later than they…
For the second time in the last several months, I came into the office today to do some work. Mostly, I’m trying to close out the remaining open bug issues in our bug tracking system for an application that I’ve been working on that is rolling out this week. I’ll be here for a while.…
I was up at about 9:30 this morning, late for me, but then again, I got to bed pretty late last night. I’m going to be heading into work in a little while and I’ll be there for most of the day today. I’m planning on going to the gym while I am there too,…
After work, I went out with some friends for happy hour. We started at Champs, and after several hours, end up at a bar in Capital Hill. I just got home 1 AM. I drank quite a bit, and to be on the safe side, rather than drive my car home, I left it at…
For some reason, I had trouble sleeping last night. A lot of trouble. I went to bed around 9:30 (because I could sleep in until 5:30 this morning since I’m working out this afternoon instead of this morning). I was pretty tired when I turned out the light but I couldn’t fall asleep. At first,…
Our holiday party starts in about 20 minutes and these will be the first 20 minutes I’ve had today to just relax. It has been one of those days. Nothing I planned to do got done. I spent the day putting out fires that were not even my fires to put out. I also busted…
For the first time since putting my new schedule into effect, I got to bed on time last night. I was going to stay up to watch the launch of Discovery, but it was postponed. So I got into bed at 9:30 PM and I was out like a light. I woke up at about…
I went to check my interoffice mail and waiting for me in my box was a “Certificate of Excellence” from my grandboss, the CIO of the company, regarding a software project I worked on and completed a few months back. It was a pleasant surprise, and it also marked the first time I’ve gotten this…

I have some thoughts about what not to do in a resume and I feel I need to get them off my chest. My team is hiring several new members and I’m seeing a lot of resumes and doing a lot of interviewing. I saw a lot more resumes back when I was an IT…
jkashlock mentioned how today is a bust as far as work is concerned. It made me wonder just how much productivity is lost on a day like today. It’s not that there are a lot of people who take the day off, and so productivity falls; I’m talking about lost productivity. The people who do…
My four-hour chunk of meeting are finally done for the day! And there are 40 minutes left in my workday. It had been my plan to write a fairly elaborate (and elegant) perl script that would parse some data and prepare it for import to a database. Because of my meeting, I got exactly 18…
