Friday: Was at work until 6 AM. The source code control system failed me miserably. I thought I had everything squared away, and then I discovered my build wouldn't run. Slunk home in defeat.
Arrived home just as MB was getting up to go to work. Scared her in the bathroom. She said goodbye, and after a brief sitting, I got some sleep.
Woke around noon. M was downstairs cleaning. Email and shower. Said hello to M and thanked her for not waking me. Down basement for exercise and morning practices. Realized M might be holding off on using the central vacuum system (which makes a lot of noise in the basement), so I told her to "let it rip." After my work, spent some time cleaning out my valise. Off to work.
Sort of an odd day. Dn checked his stuff in. There was talk amongst the staff of going out and drinking. I discovered that a particular feature which was shoved in at the last minute was the pet project of the director of R&D. It had not been asked for by users, and no one knows exactly why he thinks its such a good idea. It's good to be king, but I found myself pissed at the disparity in our degrees of creative control. Started a new build, but didn't get much done. Headed home around 9.
Back home, grilled the sandwich MB had packed for my lunch, and cooked some veggies in the microwave. MB and I watched the second half of the extended version of the Two Towers. Some of the added scenes really do add detail to the film, but some might have done better being left on the cutting room floor, perhaps. Some web surfing. Spent quite awhile fussing with the Bluetooth connection with my cell-phone. This is an example of a technology that in many respects is more trouble than its worth.
