calm before the storm?

the days have been slow and easy at work. my team, including myself, comes in early in the morning, and leaves promptly at 530PM unless the car is on coding. most of the day is spent chatting, shopping online, watching dvds or getting lost in narnia. there are meetings but they are nicely spaced apart and quick to resolve.

however, there are also three projects poised to run by third week. one of them nationwide. and i have decided to implement a new method so i will be overseeing two of the projects to check on how the methods work. we'll be busy again soon enough but i have ensured that the timetables will not kill anyone.

getting the new iLife and iWork should also add thrill to working on the projects. T will get a multiple license pack for iWork and i'll buy two from her -one for Luci and one for Morningstar.

hmm... if iLife is out i can drop by PowerMac at PowerPlant later and grab a copy for Morningstar.

yesterday i was home by 6pm. i cooked dinner and marinated future dinners. i got to eat dinner by 730 (baked scallops, the last few chili lumpia, and hot and sour beef on rice noodles). i was planning to bake the peanut butter brownies but i got all sleepy again. i was actually in bed by 9PM! i hard-boiled some eggs for making into egg mayo later on.

got up at 5AM although the alarm was set for 3:30AM. i got a full eight hours of sleep. but 5AM meant ample time for me - coffee, internet, wash last night's dishes, clean up the rest of the kitchen, bath, prepare for work. but i think it would have been much much better if i made myself get up at 4AM at least.

yesterday i messaged jacob because i just had to tell him i hoarded on my favorite japanese instant coffee.

today i have two meetings, one at 10AM and another at 4PM. after this entry i will plot my day and make it productive and un-procrastinating.

good news: our friend adam will be discharged from the hospital today. ^_^

sad news: my boss is leaving. he will only be with us until march. :( but i understand perfectly his reasons for choosing to leave. i am happy for him. :)
