Oh man does it feel good to be back in my office. I underestimated how much of a creature of habit I am. The thing I missed most was listening to music while I worked. Sure, iTunes is a horrible piece of inflexible bloatware, but it’s nice to have a constant shuffle of music going all day long. Not having that sucked.

The other thing that really surprised me was how inefficient I was. Most days I can complete the totality of my daily work in an hour or two, and then handle any meetings, appointments, emails, and phone calls as they come along. I essentially spend my time on the internet waiting for work to appear before me. Then I complete that work in a few moments and go back to waiting. But yesterday I was hogtied by a laptop with no mouse and no access to a printer. Just those two things made it impossible for me to get things done quickly, never mind having to use Safari rather than Firefox, and my office’s webmail rather than Thunderbird. Egad it was like working in an office in 1998. It took me about 10 times as long to do anything. I guess it was okay though, because I was sharing my boss’ office all day long, and that probably reinforced the idea that I don’t just sit around all day, but am actually working on things.

Anyway, you probably don’t want to hear about any of that, which is why I put it first, so you would be forced to read it.

… um. And there’s nothing else. Yeah, life is boring right now. I’ll let you know if anything comes up.
