Wow.

I thought about changing the title for this post, but then I liked the way it looked.  That’s basically what happens when you sit down at a keyboard, don’t get your fingers lined up in the home position, and attempt to type “Productive Day.”

For all you people snickering out there, I’ve been known to type at close to 140 wpm.  So shut up.

I’m typing this at around 3:00 Friday afternoon because, as hoped, Chris is coming over tonight for dinner. I like typing and all; but I think that, given a choice between hanging out with her tonight or trying to keep a streak of blog entries going, I’ll take the former.   On the dinner menu, if you’re asking, is angel hair pasta,  some sort of sauce for it, French bread with garlic, and Fresca.  Or ginger ale.  Or something like that.

No dairy, at any rate.

As noted earlier, the title for this entry was to have been “Productive Day,” because I’ve actually gotten quite a bit done today.  In addition to regular work stuff (I wrapped up the mobility dashboard and have asked my project manager for more work), I did a few loads of laundry, washed some dishes, cleaned my toilet, and went grocery shopping.  Also scooped the litter box, but that’s pretty much a daily thing.

They’re calling for several inches of snow in Atlanta between Sunday and Tuesday.  I’ll believe it when I see it.

The Post A Day suggestion for today’s topic is “How do you stay focused?”

Bottom line:  I concentrate all of my will on the task at hand and never lose sight of my goa – ooh look!  A puppy!

I don’t know exactly how long I’ve been working at it, but I finally managed to get the MacBook operating system updated to v10.6 this morning. Except for the fact that I can now install some decent applications (I couldn’t previously), there’s not much difference between 10.6 and 10.4.

That doesn’t matter. It’s the principle of the thing. No laptop is going to beat me.

Other than that, I didn’t get much done today that wasn’t actually related to my real job. Didn’t do anything with the android development, didn’t get any laundry done (I’d hoped to, but I guess I’ll take care of that tomorrow)….really didn’t do anything other than sit on the couch, take part in a couple of team meetings, and go through metrics code.

I did get a chance to talk to Chris, and dinner is on for tomorrow. So I guess I’ll be shopping for groceries at some point.

On the No Dairy front, I had red beans and rice and kielbasa for lunch and another boil-in-the package noodle thing for dinner.

It had shrimp in it.

I guess you can see (if you’ve read this blog before) that I’ve tweaked the layout just a tiny bit.  It seemed like it was time.  I’d had the basic black setup for a couple of years.  It’s classic and all, but I wanted something different.  Tonight was the first time in a long time that I’ve actually looked under the hood at blogger.  They’ve made some big strides since I started this thing.  Well done.
