What a busy day.
The guy for the flood damage came and we went over what needs to be done. It looks pretty straightforward. He should have people in next week to do the actual work. Despite leaving an hour later for work, because of the meeting, I was only 45 minutes late. I might have to do this regularly if it cuts my commute so much.
The bug I was lamenting yesterday is gone, but I’m not proud of it. I just noticed it went away when I enforced a certain condition. I’m not 100% sure why, and I don’t think I ever will be, but it’s good enough. Ship it! For the record, I don’t like what I did, but I’m dealing with a third-party’s code, and that is a can of worms I don’t want to get into.
I’ve decided to try changing from grocery shopping at Safeway to grocery shopping at Save-on-foods. I keep hearing good things about Save-on, so why not. After work, I did a quick stop off for a few small things at Superstore (they have cheap prices, but lower quality). Then I went to Save-on to get the real groceries that I need. It wasn’t very satisfying. Their meat selection wasn’t very big. A lot of my complaints have more to do with trouble trying to find things that I can find in a more familiar store. When I got home I immediately realized I had forgotten a head of lettuce which I’ve been needing quite badly. Why I left it off my grocery list, I don’t know. So, after 9:00 I went to Safeway and got the lettuce, and picked up a hunk of meat I needed. Summary: I visited three separate grocery stores this evening. And it wasn’t even a cheap tuesday.
I’ve decided to upgrade my running training. I want to get in some speed work, and I figured if I do it on the treadmill, it won’t be such a commitment to get out and do it. I can do a certain pace and keep it up, and I don’t have to worry about getting dressed for the weather. I can also keep them short. Since I can do all this, I should be able to run more often. I’m going to try and do it on any day that I don’t have another commitment. That kills more days than you would think, what with improv classes and D&D. But today I had no commitment, so it was a running day, which added more to my workload. But I must say, I do feel better. I think I’m on an endorphin rush. There was also a cute girl in the exercise room. Nice to know that I live in the same building as good looking women. However, I’m pretty sure she has a boyfriend.
On a final note, the lead programmer that I am under said something in the parking lot to me today. When he assigns me bugs, I make sure to fix them.
I’ve been feeling good over that compliment all evening.
