it is interesting to come in the office (or to still be in the office more accurately) at night after almost everyone has left. the place is very quiet, and appreciably cooler than during the day. this is due in no small part to the amount of equipment that obidently goes to sleep, like its operator, for the night. i waver in these nightime hours between incredibly productive and distracted by the lack of distractions. alas, i get a ton of work done all the same at night.
learning some of the things necessary to complete the current task i am working on at work has done quite a bit to calm my nerves about being unprepared for changes in my job. despite the fact that i am working on a good deal of code that is quite foreign to me, i am figuring it out rather quickly and making progress (still behind for the milestone, but in good shape). a long week this week and next should leave me in a position not to explode. which is a nice change.
and i was quite serious about trying to write more. posting to this forum is a thereputic experience for me, that and i miss the people in my mind that read it.
