Yes, I could be saying that just because its payday, and this is the first non-puny paycheck I’ve gotten in two months that actually covers two consecutive weeks I’ve been at work (well, actually, no it doesn’t, Christmas shutdown doesn’t net me as many paid hours as going into work would have, but I’m not going to complain…)
Right now I’m writing a unit test for a chat application, I decided to go with a “Starwars” theme and named the two chat nicknames for each of the machines in the unit test R2D2 and 3CPO.
My supervisor just gave me the bestest idea too! Dump my candy bowl (yes, still leftover from halloween) over by the printer so its out of sight out of mind (and I’m not tempted to eat it), and replace it with a fruit bowl and keep apples or oranges or pears (you know the fruit that lasts nearly forever) on my desk instead (hmmm, and maybe some ritz crackers or raisin bread or something too). That would be brilliant. I often try to bring a snack of fruit to work for when I get munchy cravings mid-afternoon, if I have anything in the fridge, but usually I forget because its not a consistent routine.
