So far so good. I got most of a review of code done, we've bounced geo files all over creation, and I've updated the install program to handle a critical new choice.
Also so far not so good. We've got some personalities in this office, and some of them are getting a wee bit vocal. My boss's dog growled at the folks who came in to wash our windows (and promptly got himself scolded, held when he's usually left free, and finally confined to the boss's office, except while those windows were being cleaned).
I'm tired today, in that drifty, sinus-y way...front of the face is tired rather than achy, but definitely sinuses. Waiting for the decongestants to hit because it took me a good hour to realize this after it started. Oops....
Not really looking forward to being away from home for a week. I am looking forward to the go-live itself. The stuff that was worrying me is resolved, the client is apparently looking forward to it, and they sound like really nice people. I like being in dispatch centers, when I'm there, and I like seeing how different agencies do things. Plus, I've been promised lilacs (on the grounds of the place) and really good Italian at affordable prices (at a nearby restaurant).
If I have free time, I'll be able to wander around and see another town or two, as well. Not, I admit, the ones I'd choose to go on vacation to ideally - but not a bad break, considering the company pays for the trip and all.
But...yeah. My internet access will be limited, not nil, but limited. I may update here a bit, but I'm not going to be able to go through all my normal activities. I won't be at home. It has a strangeness factor, too.
Mostly, my main objection to travel is that I prefer to stay home. The travel itself isn't that bad, and unlike many people I know, I adapt really well to moving across timezones (at least, the continental US - I've never tried an 8-hour adaptation or anything) and hotel rooms.
It's the possibility of either boredom or stress I fear, and honestly, right now, the boredom is more my worry.
Anyway, I guess today hasn't been too bad so far. Hopefully it will keep on as it has been.
