yet another day at the office

i am getting bored at the moment, so i thought i'd make another day-in-the-office post.


so, what is there to say?


i woke up this morning at about 5 o'clock (then at seven, then at eight). my eyes were stinging from reading into the night; i turned towards the computer screen, and started reading again.

and, again, i found it hard to leave the reading behind to get to work.



at about half past nine i managed to get into the shower. then, i managed to find some clean clothes (at about a quarter past ten).


since originally i had wanted not to be too late in office, i took a taxi (again).

i had holiday yesterday (which would have been good for diving but i was too damn lazy to get out of the house), so i had about 40 unread mails in my office mailbox, and until half past eleven i've been sorting email and building a tasks-list:
current configuration,
mails from the-land-of-the-free requiring answer (and not),
any pending issues,
and emergencies (thank the-powers-that-be, there were none of those);

then, i answered a lengthy mail from a good friend, then i went to lunch.



so, in effect, i started my actual work a bit after one o'clock.



at three, i had another boring status meeting (boring! booriing! booooriiiing! booooooriiiing!): for an hour and a half i played with an orange from the kitchinette; and drank a coffee; and had a few laughs (every time i caught anything more or less close to funny); and i actually participated _once_ in the discutions ("dan, any issues?" / "none").



now, it's 5 minutes to six, and i'm finalizing my configuration for testing on a chinese windows server (help! i don't know how to read!).


i can't wait to get home.
