If you give a contractor two days notice, they'll ask for a two hour extension at the literal last moment. If you give a contractor a two hour extension at the literal last moment, you'll lose an hour to lunch and other obligations, and

Another day, another set of fires to put out. Or the same fires again, in some cases. Rewatching the MCU instead of going to Captain Marvel again. Will probably do that this weekend, tho.

Up and down day at work. Got my workstation back together, resolved some crises, had an annoying meeting with my grandboss but didn't quit, had a pre-planning-meeting planning meeting for a very important feature that we're not goimg to have enough time to implement

In the office again. First a meeting that didn't make it onto my calendar. Then solving a bunch of people's existential crises, and finally tearing down my office and moving one over. Was so exhausted and in pain by then I didn't even hook

Went into the office to get the new dev spun up. Spent three hours showing him the codebase and explaining how it got into the state it's in. Then lunch. Then more of the same, until we were interrupted to have a meeting about

Spent most of the day playing Oxygen Not Included. Did go out to grab lunch, and stopped to pick up lottery tickets. Almost bought a bunch of junk food, but the Kenmore Safeway was ridiculously understaffed.

Managed to sleep until half after seven, which was nice. Made some excellent ramen for breakfast. Spent some time organizing audiobooks. Reorganized the electrical cords on the mantle, so they'd be less likely to get caught on the cats. Updated the software on the

Went to bed at a decent hour, still woke up way too fucking early. But hey, clocking in at 5:42 means clocking out at 13:42. So then I went to lunch at Leena's, and ended up going to see HTTYD3 and Alita.

Relatively quiet at work. Went to Leena's for lunch, then the Apple store. Dinner at Red Robin with A-M. Designing ribbons for con.

Had an annoying meeting and a good meeting. We're going to try to try a new process at work, if management will let us. I am cautiously optimistic it will help. Saw the lipid clinic nurse this afternoon. A1C is backdown. Everything else is

The alarm to remind me to blog is set for 21:00. Going to bed at 20:00 is a good way to forget to blog the day. Went to get a blood draw for an appointment wednesday. The phlebotomist had a double-ended lightsaber

up way too early. early meeting cancelled. finished my part of a giant code review. not feeling too well.

(Forgot to post again) Uh... Woke up stupid early, cleaned my office more, got really tired, and went to bed stupid early. Now I'm awake stupid early again. Bodies are dumb.

Been cleaning my office today. Emptied or reorganized several boxes, got a bunch of things restacked and shuffled around so I can find them. Labeled several things. In the past two days I've managed to free up floor space equivalent to slightly less than

Extra special work crap I don't feel like yelling about again. Cleared out another bin in my office. Found some things I'd been looking for, but not what I was searching for. Tiiiiired.

I am completely and utterly sick of explaining the same things to the contractors over and over and over and over and over and over and over. I literally can't count how many times I've told them what the data model looks like, and

It's the date on the Earth Gregorian calendar on which my birthday occurs. I am, at this moment, just very slightly over 42 Earth years, or 397,339,800,914,623 light-kilometers, old. Went out to breakfast on my own, dropped some sharps off

Not much to talk about. Work was work. Contractors can be a pain. Taking tomorrow off for my birthday. Getting hair done. Thinking Scott's for dinner. Should probably go somewhere for lunch too. We'll see.

As I mentioned, I didn't sleep well. Some kind of digestive upset. Not sure what that was about. Woke up several times thru the night, was effectively awake from about 4 onward (little snatches of sleep here and there, but). Up at 7:15.

Went to bed early last night because I wasn't feeling well, so this is a bit late. Uh... Woke up, went to Leena's for breakfast. Came home, and refilled my pill organizer. Played some video games to procrastinate on installing a SATA card in

Mostly cleaning today. First I got message rendering working in my bbs. screenshot of message display in bbsThen I repacked the stuffed animals in my bathoom. Oh, right. See, my office at home has a full bathroom attached, and I don't really need a

Meeting to discuss getting our code base back under our control. We'll see how it goes. Dentist. Finished generating the merge candidate Got menu switching and message reading working (if not nicely) in the bbs. Expect I'll be ready to leave a demo up

In the office. Good interview. Other work stuff I don't feel like getting into at the moment. Letting bbs stuff percolate. Trying to figure out how I want to manage the telnet session state machine and its transitions.

Work. Meetings. More BBS. Have to go in to the office tomorrow to interview someone. Meh.

Went to bed early because I was TIIIIIRED. Woke up way WAY too early. But, hey, that means I was done with work at 14:20. Of course, most of the work day was spent cleaning up the contractors' mess. But that's normal. Went
