Possibly the one and only productive thing I will get done today...

... and all I can think of is, "Now how do I make this stupid kludge look like I'm doing it on purpose?"

It might be time to take a wee break...

I just laughed out loud at a manual page.

I love perl; but anything where the official documentation says, "Behavior of this function varies wildly depending on your system implementation," I'm not using for a 5-minute hack.

Not actually work-related this time...

The topic of the fast-food chain Wienerschnitzel came up at the lunch table today, entirely at random.

I made the mistake of actually sharing an anecdote of work-related Wienerschnitzel-ness. Dan then proceeded to try to out-weird me. There were innocent bystanders. It was bad.

a 3-diet-Coke day...

... so far...

On the bright side, everyone else keeps turning up even later to meetings than I do. And bits of the band got together and made sounds that sort of resembled music at times. Which was nice.

We did a new song today and no one fled screaming. And I am not the only one whose voice is out of whack. And I can remember basic motor skills like 12-bar blues in A.

And none of the work crises are actually my fault. All are currently in good hands as far as I know. Things are going to start getting better at some point, they just suck a bit right now.

(I did, however, make a valiant effort to play kazoo today, and nearly passed out from the exertion. I am not entirely better yet.)

(Edit: I have absolutely no idea how I posted this from the future. Am attempting to back-date now...)
