So, what was there for today, besides an inane quiz?
I woke up at 5:30, just because. Why? I have no idea. Just because. Because the universe thought it would be funny, because of some sound outside I didn't remember on waking, because of the number 3. For some reason I did; and having woken up, I was aware that I was up. (I could have gone back to sleep, but for less than a couple'a hours it would not have been worth it.)
So I got to work at 7. This was handy - I needed to pick up my new-prescription contact lens (singular because they only get 'try it out' lenses when the prescription changes, and only my left eye changed), and buy food, and I'm on call this week. I could have done that while being actually on call, but being able to put in a full day's work and still head out in time to get that done and be home by the time I was on call was a really nice bonus.
So, starting tomorrow, I will wear my new contact lens and see how it does. She told me to try it for a week, then call and let her know. If it gives me any trouble, she'll want me to make an appointment; if I like it, I can just order them. Whee. And I now have microwave strawberry pies. These have to be hideous for me, but they're fairly small (which is a bonus as far as being really bad), and I'm curious - the apple ones were very good. Very comfort-food without being stuff-you-full food.
Work itself actually went pretty well. There was lots to do and a few concerns, but there wasn't anything I had to deal with that was really a disaster. I actually had some enhancements assigned to me. As usual, assigning one to me skews the estimates all to heck and gone. The first was estimated for 1-3 days (where "day" equals "8 man-hours"). I got it done today, having started it today, with interruptions - just under 5 man-hours. Of course, I also started with the small, self-contained, easy one. The other two are much larger, but I don't think I'll hit their worst-case estimates, you know? ;)
Now I am home and have AC and am feeling tired and headachy. If I nap, I will hate myself tomorrow. I will go to bed early, but I should not nap. But oh am I going to be worthless for anything requiring much brain this evening...fooey.
