I managed to get a couple more hours of work done. Turns out of few team members in Santa Monica were still online, so I was able to do a few things with them. I also got some work done on an entirely separate project. Took out the trash (it’s trash day). Car is warming…
I had to work today. We were up at around 8 AM and Kelly set about finishing up her laundry. I started working. I probably started in earnest around 8:40 AM and worked pretty much straight through until 7:30 PM, with a short break to get my hair cut, and another short break this evening…
It was another very busy day at work yesterday. My workday started at 5:40 AM and finished up at 4:30 PM. And I still have work I have to do over the weekend. It rained most of yesterday. After work, I met Kelly and we headed to Hard Times for chili and beer, which was…
Today was a 12+ hour work day. I got to the office at 5:40 AM and I worked pretty much non-stop until 6:30 this evening. I left the office at 4 PM, headed over to Kelly’s and then logged back into work. I had to call into a meeting from 5 – 6 PM. It…
I’m not complaining about the thinness of the walls in my office at work. At least I have an office (and a nice one at that). But sometimes, it borders on silly. Thus, the following from 2 minutes ago: Me (typing away on my computer): , , . Phone rings. Me: This is Jamie. Todd…
Woke up this morning at 4:20 AM without much of a voice still, but otherwise feeling better. I had some breakfast and caught the usual 5:09 train into the office. Perhaps a third of the way to the office, I began to feel a bit nauseous on the train. This is very unusual for me,…
I came in this morning with the intention of doing a full arms and shoulders workout, but as it turned out, I had some troubleshooting to do. There were problems with two applications that appeared to be caused by a planned power outage last weekend. It took me 4 hours to finally figure out what…
I got almost no sleep last night–very similar to Thursday, except I had no rollout to stress over and got less sleep. I drifted off between 3 and 4 AM but was up at 4 and decided to take a day to relax and try and recover. So I’ve been spending the morning checking in…
I was so exhausted last night that when I went to take a nap at about 8 PM, I didn’t get back up. I was supposed to get up at 10 PM, but at 10, I decided I needed more sleep. I told Kelly I’d get up at 3 AM. At 1:30 AM, I was…
I worked 11 straight hours today without pause, getting ready for the rollout of the Visitor application tomorrow evening, and doing some work on my other big project. I was hoping to finish Our Oriental Heritage but the only reading I got done today was on the train into work this morning. I’ve still got…
Here is what I was doing at 5:30 this morning: Imagine a grid that contained a list of an arbitrary number of things, but displayed only 7 at a time. Suppose the total number is 35. If, when rendering the list, you wanted to have it take you to the “page” on which a specific…
The government decided to fight the recession today with a tax credit. The idea here is that taxpayers will get rebate checks. $600 if you are single and $1200 if you are a couple. In the fine print, single people who make more than $75K or couples who earn more than $150K are out of…
