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

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.

Shaved off a good chunk of the performance issues currently preventing the next release of CRUCS. It's not the real performance bottleneck (which has been identified) but these were easy changes that will still be nice to have later whereas the real fix is going to be somewhat more involved. Sadly, the profiler didn't show what I was hoping the bottleneck would have been as had what my first guess was been right it would have been a much easier fix.

I'm going to a baseball game on Sunday. There will be no further discussion of this and I've probably already said too much as I do not have and will not be seeking the express written consent of Major League Baseball.

Did a Tetris Effect update cause the jellyfish stage to get worse in VR? I don't remember that one jellyfish deciding to light up and block my view of nearly the entire play field.

Today's corn is pretty good.

Spent some time debugging code that I wrote on the train and while it's now mostly (but not quite completely) working correctly now, the performance is egregiously bad so I'm going to have to get to the bottom of that before I let those features out.

Caught a falling cat.
