What The Doctor Orders

... is more days like today. It has been a while since I was at work after midnight and oddly enough, I don't grudge being here at all. The Captain's log for the day reveals that I got a lot done - I closed all bugs assigned to me, I attended meetings and participated, I am self hosting Vista and am doing a small part of what I can do to make the product better. This is a starting point, a first baby step of sorts towards gaining lost productivity and making my mark.

Keeping a log of what I am doing in the day might prove to be a small change that has a huge impact on how I do my job. In my quest to become a better people manager, I have paid less attention to my technical pursuits. It is time to pick these up again and delve deeper into the parts of the system that stoke my intellect. The first order of business is to review some randomization code, resolve all the bugs assigned to me and talk to my mentor about the next baby step...

Two of my closest friends aren't going to be in town this weekend. There are some parties lined up for the weekend but between squash, tennis, working out and catching up with work, am I going to have time to party it up? This has been a month of long nights out which have taken their toll on my body - I sure as hell would appreciate a weekend sans inappropriate partying! Maybe it's time for either a CSI or 24 marathon :))
