Jan. 8th, 2011 10:56 pmHmm. Not a lot to report. Yesterday was a busy day at work. One of my favorite things (no, not really) we do for our consultants is recreating PDFs into editable powerpoint files, and I got to do that all day. Whoo! When I got home, Brian made dinner and I did basically nothing all night. Around 9pm, Brian finished some work he was doing and we decided to head out and do something fun. Drove into Harvard Square, actually found a parking spot, and hit the Harvard Book Store for a bit. Found a few things, but didn't find what we were specifically looking for. It was pretty cold and 11pm by the time we were done, so we headed back to the car and drove home.
Today was another work day, and it was the complete opposite of yesterday. Not a lick of work all day. I'd brought in a few projects from home in case it was slow, but we were too chatty for me to get much done. Saturdays are our bitch-session days at work, as there are no management-types (or really anyone) in the building. We talked more about the hallway. And then the shooting happened in Arizona, and we followed that for a long time. I don't think we had one positive thing to say all day. I dialed up a Ren & Stimpy video (the one with "Happy Happy Joy Joy" in it) just to shake off the negative a bit. [When I got home Brian also sent me a link to some Maru videos. Ah, Maru! Can't stay grumpy with Maru in the world.]
By the end of the day I felt pretty sick — I hope I'm not getting the crud that everyone seems to have right now. There was some snow accumulation on the roads, so the drive home was a little more white-knuckled than it needed to be. I had a bit of a lie-down when I got home and by 9pm I started to feel a bit better. My guess is I won't get much done for the rest of the night. But tomorrow I'd like to tackle my list.
Tonight I think I'll just watch a few tivoed shows and relax.
