Another bit of drizzle.
Today was a good day. I actually got to code today. Up until now it’s been design work and planning, but today I spent almost the whole day programming. There are still design days ahead, but I’m learning that it’s all part of the process. This is the way things are in a project this size, a project that’s not just a pull an all-nighter to get this thing done for class tomorrow sort of project.
Today was a good day. I’m really enjoying my job, and that’s really important too. I’m getting to know the people I work with and they’re getting to know me. It’s a big happy circle.
Today was a good day. Brian left for Vegas yesterday for Halloween, so I had the office to myself. He’s out there doing God knows what (translation: stuff I wouldn’t do), and I’m sure he’s having a blast. But because he was gone, it was a lot easier to sit down and focus and get a lot done. So that I did.
Today was a good day. About 2 PM my boss’ secretary (one of the people in the group I’m getting to know) came in and we talked for a bit. I told her I was beat, that after focusing all day my mind was not wanting to work anymore. She agreed that I looked tired, and said: I’ve already approved your timesheet, so why don’t you just go home. You have my permission. Awesome. So after finished up a few loose ends I headed out.
Today was a good day, and now I’m home. Tomorrow will be good too. The plan is to go up to Boston to watch the post World Series parade. Should be a good time, and I’ll be with friends, which makes it even better. You guys are awesome.
And now - Counter Strike. Woohoo!!!
Today was the same as usual. I sat around browsing the web and doing random stuff because I still don’t really have anything to do at work. That will all change soon though, so I’m all right with getting paid for sitting around for the time being.
I did do something interesting though, but I’m not done and I’m still not sure if I like the design. My high school website is pretty lame in my opinion. It uses outdated frames and stuff like that, and doesn’t look all that great. So I set out to come up with a new design. I’ve come up with something, but it’s incomplete as of yet and I’m not sure if I like it overall. It’s not easy coming up with a design using the school colors - green, black, and gold. So I’ll keep working on it as I have time.
Tomorrow I have a meeting all day down at NUWC, the naval base in Newport. Though I’ve heard the meetings can be boring, at least it will get me out of the office for the day. Not only that, but the next day will be Friday, which is always nice.
Speaking of Friday, that’s when all the freshmen will be getting to Taylor. In a way I’m sad I won’t be going back again, but at the same time it’s a really, really good feeling to be done.
Enough of this, I’m going to bed.
