Due to the heat I'm switching to night roasting to give the AC a chance to keep up. That's also a good time to recharge the water softeners and change the filters.

Hard to believe it's been September for over three decades now.

Evaluated roast progressions on two more coffees from recent shipments, but I don't have time to do production test batches today and have tomorrow scheduled as a work from home day (might come in after closing anyway to do some equipment maintenance that's hard to do when the shop is open) so I'll delay getting those out on the shelf for a couple more days.

It was a missing quote.

Took the time to get to the bottom of another bug blocking the release of the next version of CRUCS.

Nevermind, the old good thing is still there. They just hid it a little better.

One of my suppliers seems to have made their web site worse. They used to have a very good CSS for printing orders that saved on both toner and paper. That's been replaced with a slightly worse in both areas PDF download that takes too many clicks to get and printing directly from the web page is just awful in paper waste now.

My 2nd choice of lunch had banana splits on the menu and after the bad experience at my first pick I think I needed the ice cream.

First place I tried to get lunch said they were only taking online orders. So I could pull out my phone and order online, but they couldn't just take my order directly? WTF.

One of my employees currently on vacation texted to let me know she liked the coffee recommendations I gave her for the city she's in.

The cat yelled at me for bringing home take out for dinner since she knows this would delay her getting to sit on me as I'd want to eat the food while it's still hot.

The cat thought I should stay home from work today and just pet the cat, but there's work that needs doing.

Trying to talk myself out of building a new PC. It's been ages since I assembled one myself

@gnomon That's always a good feeling. I did similar the other day, taking my original code from ~56 seconds (unacceptable for something that's supposed to be interactive) down to about ~100ms (probably still has some room for improvement but at least it's usable now).

I voted.

Two coffee shipments arrived today. Wrenched my back on the last bag, but end of the week there should be a few new things out on the shelf.

Package tracking says a thing was one zip code digit away from here but instead of routing it to another post office in the same city and delivering it, they sent it half way across the state instead.

Took an initial crack at solving the real problem and while I still need to go back and make some changes elsewhere in the program to make this do the right thing all the time, the test cases I've been using to diagnose the performance issue are now finishing in about a tenth of a second instead of taking almost a minute and that's honestly good enough.
