decided yesterday...

decided yesterday afternoon that if i was going to actually get any work done, i was going to have to stay home and work from here. this was after i resisted the urge to strangle loud annoying people who kept invading my office (granted its shared, so they have every right to be there) and breaking my concentration. I got maybe three lines of code written yesterday, and resorted to scribbling on the white board and muttering. so, today i'm staying home, and let me tell you, my god it is nice. i'm actually getting work done (current goofing off not withstanding), there are very few distractions, and i have all the iced tea i can drink. the weather here switched from blistering hot to cool fall like weather in about 3 days. its nice right now, but i'm beginning to feel like a puppy with a bipolar owner, i don't really understand the forces at work here, but i'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. my main concern is that we are completely going to skip the long nice fall that i like and go directly into winter. or that we are already into fall, and i haven't had time to buy pants (all i own right now are cutoff shorts and a pair of wool pants designed to keep german soldiers from freezing to death while fighting a land war in russia.
