Relatively productive day and evening, all in all.
I got every task I meant to done this week - except I still haven't finished the code review that I got in my email Monday morning. It kept getting shuffled to the bottom of the list. And of course, it was vulnerable to the fact that it needed large blocks of time. I very frequently found it atop the list when I had only 5-10 minutes to spare. The problem with doing it in pieces is that the evaluation becomes disjoint and you basically just waste the little periods of time, because you have to redo them anyway, even if you took notes. The whole is important.
But it's not undone. I finsihed and sent initial evaluations on all changed modules, and I have one set of the new files (admittedly the smallest set) finished. I just need to get the other three new modules looked over and I can finish responding. Whee!
At any rate, for a week like this one, it's good. I ended the day on a semi-sour note. Somehow, I had gotten the fact that we had to have a CD today tied to something that slipped schedule and cancelled. And it did slip and cancel, but we needed that one CD for two purposes: that and the training class next week. So I worried N and freaked myself because she wanted a CD and I was about to go home. I stayed and made it good, of course, and it's not like it was that huge an imposition, it was just totally unexpected to me. And it shouldn't have been. That's okay, she'd blanked on the other factor being focussed on her class, so we really were at crossed purposes for a few seconds.
All sorted out and fixed, however, so...well, that's something. It got done, darnit! :) I had wanted to get out early to get home before after-hours coverage started, though, because I forgot the after-hours phone at home. Fortunately, I'm on the second level this week and the person on first tends to arrive at work early - so when I arrived at work and realized I didn't have it, I could at least tell him and he knew where to reach me and there was no transition or what-have-you.
So I left late, and I figured I'd still be home before coverage started but only barely. I got onto I-5 at 217. It was a parking lot, but it always is there. Usually opens up a bit past that (down by the next exit) and then turns back into a parking lot at Tualatin. So as I am creeeeeeeeping forward, thinking this is tedious and a bad day, I hear on the radio traffic report that there's an accident south of 205.
Mmmkay. The exit I take? The first one south of 205. I swung back into the exit lane and took surface streets and, from what I heard of that report, I probably got home sooner than I would have. About ten minutes after the coverage started, but that's not too bad. Response time to pages is that long anyway.
And we haven't had any calls all week. Well, we had one, but it turned out to be in another system, it just confused people such that it got sent to us for a while. That one didn't escalate to me - the guy on the first level had no problem figuring out where the problem lay, though it took him a while to find out who could work on it.
And then I was home. My upstairs hallway is clean. The new library shelf is installed, and in use. The books that were awaiting reshelving are reshelved. The pizza boxes are in the trash. The dishes are clean.
Why yes, Scott's parents are in town and will be stopping by tomorrow. What made you ask?
The living room's not tidy, though. I could have, but we use some of that clutter. Some can be cleaned. That room bugged me less than the rest and is at any rate more work to clean correctly, and more distractions. :)
