I had a very busy day today at work. I don’t think I stopped all day, I didn’t leave my desk other than for a 10-minute meeting and to visit the toilet! I ate my lunch at my desk too. All this in an attempt to get some things tied up because I am off work for the rest of this week while we have the windows fitted.

I finished moving desk this morning, but it was quite frustrating. In the end it was more than an hour before I could get on with my work! And it was terribly hot until I got my fan plugged in again. Still, I’ve realised that as well as now having a wall against which I have stacked my CDs I also have a little more room around my seat. But I am now next to the main door which half the office use to get to the kitchen and loos. It may get very busy at my back!

I have to move desks at work tomorrow. 🙁 I knew this was coming up after the company re-organisation a few months ago, and that pretty much everyone will have to move to a new place, but it has taken a long time to get organised. Unfortunately the rumours all week have been that the bulk of the moving would take place next week. In fact the plans and schedule published today confirmed this. Except… for three people who have to move tomorrow. Yep, I’m one of them.
The pain is that I have a lot of stuff to move, probably more than anyone else; there is my whole cd collection — 12 CD racks full of CDs + more, a few dozen reference books, as well as the usual stacks of papers, three drawers full of junk… Oh yeah, and a PC and monitor 🙂
Anyway, given the amount of other work I have to do tomorrow, I started moving some of it tonight. I’ve got the CD’s and books done so it shouldn’t be too bad tomorrow.

Wooh! A busy day at work today. I had to do a release in the morning which ended up not getting out until after lunch (through which I had to work). And then in the afternoon I had meetings for the rest of the day.
Still, I learned there are some interesting projects in the pipeline.

I didn’t got to work on my bike again today 🙁
I must do it tomorrow the rain wasn’t half as bad today. The last time I missed a few days, then worked away from the office for a while, then the weather was bad again,… before I knew it, it had been two years since I’d ridden my bike.

Too hot! It’s currently 86.5 and humid at my desk! Too hot! I’m glad I’m going home soon.

I’ve spent the last two days doing unscheduled work. Again! It’s a good job they decided to take me (mostly) off the critical path on the current project. I’ve had a nasty bug to track down and fix. I issued the release this morning. Then another problem came to light, I spent the rest of this afternoon looking in to that. I’m leaning toward a data issue now, but it’s taken all afternoon to get there 🙁

Blech! More merging action at work today. Probably at least another two days for this one. More old code, half finished, and shelved for six months while the main code streams moved further and further away. And just to make it interesting, it is now off the shelf and development is proceeding before I’ve finished the merge!
