Sometimes after you’ve had some time off work, it’s nice to go back. Today was not one of those times. With the best intentions of being in work by 9am, I sauntered in just before 9:30. After 5 minutes I was slightly wound up. After 20 I was smiling but seriously ready to lose it with someone. No one thing in particular caused the angst, it was more like a million little tiny things, corporate stupidity a la Dilbert, with a dose of coworker annoyance thrown in for good measure. An hour later, enough was enough - time to hit Starbucks for a pink drink! I managed to round up Tomas, Simon, and Okhtay for a walk around the block, yet I was the only one who bought anything. Clearly my coworkers are easily persuadable when it comes to taking a break from the corporate grind and getting outside for a breath of fresh air ;-)
The rest of the day went pretty smoothly, hacked some code around, did some testing, had a meeting, came home. Hit the movies with Kevin after work and saw The Quiet. Good movie - Edie Falco was awesome in it, although some of the subject matter may not be everyone’s cup of tea (daddy fooling around with teenage daughter? uh, yeah, no thanks!). Out of 10? I’d probably say 7. It’s definitely “different” to a lot of the other stuff out there, and well worth checking out.
