My main work project for the next week or so is improving code performance, typically by making small changes that reduce the number of file accesses. This should be great fun!
Tonight on the Beltline a car ahead of me was dragging its muffler sending up a steady spray of sparks. I reported the license number after I got home.
I learned that lake thunder occurs when lake ice contracts and splits. I felt this twice last week. The whole house shook. It was freaky.
Tonight's commute took 50 minutes.
One time saving tips on the cassette I was relistening to: live closer to where you work.
I almost had my first Starbucks visit. At the last minuted I was diverted to a fine coffeehouse that serves hot chocolate with or without whipped cream.
Seeing our software in action last week has given me a greater sense of connectedness wth health care professionals and their patients.
Last night's shift was long with a few busy times. After I helped one person she said, "I'm so happy I could just ____." Then she smiled and apologized.
Denver's Modern Rock station, 93.3 FM, plays Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)."
The Red Bull is still in the fridge. For tonight, my shift was split into 5 pm to 9 pm and 6 am to 8 am.
I am now in Broomfield, CO. Current temp is 39. I stopped at Safeway and they had the front doors open to enjoy the weather.
Besides Internet access, my hotel room has a fridge that is five feet tall. Among other things, the fridge now contains one can of Red Bull energy drink.
After the morning rush hour my commute was pretty good. Ditto for the evening.
Later I learned from my (new) barber that my dentist goes to her barbershop.
We're having the first winter storm of the season. On my way home from work (early!) I felt my anti-locking brakes pulsing as I slowed for one turn.
Plans are in place for me to be in Lafayette, CO, next week for work. I'll have a chance to use my vast training to help users.
First listen today: Thrice's The Illusion of Safety. To be somewhat nonspecific, it's a good mix of emopunkmetalcore.
