dmazeWork has finally calmed down to the point where we only have one or two major bugs on my project outstanding; everything else seems stable, and even if we're not on the "finish everything a month before the release" schedule my first-line manager wanted we did get things done on time for my second-line manager's release schedule. It's probably time to have a Little Talk with my 1LM about how daily status meetings eat up a stupid amount of time and pull everyone who should be bug-fixing out of their bug-fixing groove. My 2LM is much saner this way.
Without the work stress or a day-long bike trip the weekend was actually pretty relaxing. We got the furniture arranged in our office room, I finished turning sheets of wood panelling into small pieces of wood panelling, I mowed the lawn and progressed on the hedge plot, we made it to Home Depot/Target/BJ's. And I still had time to read train porn, implement an "easy" loopy solver in Haskell (a couple hundred lines of horrific infrastructure followed by a couple dozen lines of solving logic), bootstrap a human mage in Angband to twelfth level (giving them Identify in a spellbook; secrets seem to be "restart if the shop doesn't have a lantern" and "don't drink the water"), and get started on Star Ocean. I guess that's a lot of stuff for a relaxing weekend.
At any rate, now work isn't eating my soul, I got home stuff done, and I still got to sit on my butt. This makes me feel neither useless nor overwhelmed, which somehow seems to be the trademark of a good weekend.
