A Mixed Day
Good: Started my day with a 5% raise, a total surprise.
Bad: While checking e-mail just before dashing off to an all-day XML class, I got a surprise e-mail asking me to compose a policy for our Unix dept before end-of-business today.
Good: During lunch, I learned that the policy issue was addressed mid-morning by a manager.
Bad: I still missed lunch.
Neutral: The XML class was interesting but the stuff I wanted to know could have been summarized in one hour rather than six.
Bad: Left the building at 4 PM with the hope of beating the worst of rush hour only to find my car had a flat.
Good: At least I discovered the flat in the office parking lot under good weather rather than in the middle of nowhere during a blizzard.
Butch: I changed said tire in 20 minutes or so.
Unbutch: Cleaning up in the men's room required using that awful coconut-scented soap. I smellmore like a fruit.
Not Good: The spare tire was a little soft, but tolerable.
Bad: The spare is the tiny donut type so my speed home would be severely limited.
Figures: I was now late enough that I would be driving in the peak of rush hour. I was only able to get about 20 mph for a few miles in the early portion. The overall drive took almost 2 hours.
I've just finished stuffing myself with chicken fingers and am now catching up with my regular work-related issues. Whee.
