Back to Work
OK, it's back to work like millions of other folks, and I have to say that I'm very happy with my life today. Yesterday we went shopping and picked up The Rolling Stones' Forty Licks and I loaded it on my MP3 player last night. I've been listening to it all morning and it's a lot of good music that I listened to all my life. I can't say that I really like the band, but the music they make has been great milestones of my life. Very nice trip down memory lane. Excellent music.
It's also nice to get back in the saddle and start writing code again. It's an important part of who I am - just like a serious runner needs to run to feel good, I need to create, and use my brain. Thankfully, this place has no shortage if ideas - both good and really not so good, but that's the ups and downs, I guess. In any case, I'm able to stretch today and get some code fixed, add a few things, and make it a little nicer. That's a win no matter how you look at it.
I also like being about to talk to me friends at work again. Not that we're a big 'water cooler' bunch, but with the cuts, and the lack of direction in many areas, it's a source of a lot of talk. Then again, there's the Holidays and it's nice to hear about what other people got.
It's just a really good day to be back.
