It's Tuesday!

Quote: “The only time you fail is when you fall down and stay down.” ― Stephen Richards

Daily Plan:

  • RL Sprints.  (EDI adjustments, dashboard lockdowns, and new BOL fields.)
  • EM Sprints.  (Paypal tools, tighter lab-BoF linkage, and UX improvements.)

There are some really critical issues that need to be taken care of so that my clients and the users of the systems I maintain know that progress is being made and their needs are being cared for.  My goals today are to take care of those needs and push the results out right away.

Update: Rocked it!  Going to maintain these goals through the end of the week, if necessary.  Until they are done.

Columbus Day

Quote: “Nine people can't make a baby in a month.” ― Fred Brooks

Daily Goals:
  • State-of-the-Project - EM
  • Code Sprints - RL
Frankly, I had a terrible weekend (started early on Thursday - very late) filled with family emergencies, intense drama, and little sleep.  I was glad that I was able to help, and no one died, but it sucked pretty bad.  No family or friends were hurt during the hurricane, either, BTW.  Bonus!

I'm looking forward to getting into my nice, normal, programming today.  Must not allow the emotional angst of the past three days get in the way of mentally focusing on the tasks that are in front of me today.  Onward and upward!

Tuesday Tomfoolery

Quote: "I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday." ― Abraham Lincoln

Daily Goals:
  • Complete Accounting Integration - EM
  • Code Sprints - RL
Today is one of my prime code days.  Yesterday didn't go as well as I had hoped due to physical aliment, but I'm getting back in the saddle.

Monday Madness

Quote: “Between the mad and the misguided, the line is as thin as a split hair that has been split again.” ― Dean Koontz, Brother Odd

Daily Goals:
  • Support for New Terminal - RL
  • Complete Accounting Integration - EM
Today is one of my prime code days.  I've got lots of stuff laid out to do, but I'm also giving myself quite a bit of slack time in order to be available for supporting any start-up pains that the new terminal may experience as well.  Last week was wonderful in terms of how much I got done and the attitude that went with the work.  I've analyzed what went right all weekend and am going to be repeating my processes to duplicate the goodness!

Daily Results:
Efficiency: Medium
Focus: Low
State: Woozy

Have a bit of a cold and it threw me off my game today.  Ugh.
