watching digital paint dry with one eye

Thursday: Woke around 9, having not gotten terribly much sleep. Dim memory of MB saying goodbye as she headed out. Up, and some email. Internet acting wonky. Shower. Breakfast, much the same as yesterday. Did a little research into the matter to which I had committed to yesterday. Began making the travel arrangements for the GC course in April. Down basement, and exercise and morning practice. The little bit of exercise that I've been doing each day is beginning to have a noticeable effect on how my body feels. Mailed off the town census, and headed to work.

Discussion with L and B, and we decided I'd fix a few bugs, then see where things stood. I did that, rapidly chewing through a half dozen anomalies. We decided I'd make a build with my fixes for L, then do my merge with the trunk. B ordered some pizza, and as we were standing around eating, two programmers got to talking about my feature and speculating about how to solve a difficult problem that I was not planning on addressing. Eventually I said something along the lines of "I just do this to get paid, but knock yourselves out." After giving L a build, and beginning the build of the result of my merge, I headed home.

Hung with MB. Downtime, talking about housework. Some coffee in the kitchen, then back to work. Took my guitar, knowing I'd have a lot of idle time on my hands.

At the office, my build had completed successfully. That was pretty amazing and unexpected. Began the process of putting my changes back on the trunk. This did not go as planned, and I had to begin from scratch several times. The VCS was letting me down, yet again. Some guitar. Getting groggy, but some some focus, made it through Invention 1 without error. Web surfing, while watching digital paint dry with one eye.
