zobar’s journal

the gulag archipelago

· · 🌡️ 49°F

I have not posted in a while, because I have sequestered myself in the attic until I finish writing a new backend for our calendar database. This may strike you as a weird thing to do, but the attic is comfortable this time of year, quiet, and relatively clean. I have weird mannerisms when I am deep in thought, and when I am in the attic nobody says anything when I pace around the room, pulling my hair and chewing my beard. I have put in fifty hours this week [well, starting Friday after work] and I am thrilled to be able to concentrate so completely. I am making excellent progress. I have assured both Management and @dragonlady7 that the overtime will become a vacation in the not too distant future.

I have also promised Management that I will return Monday with my shield or upon it; this does not bode well for my attendance at the housewarming party. The question is not whether I will be there -- I will -- but when.

    I understand the weirdness of the programming moment very well. That is why I have virtually no furniture in my office. I provides space for pacing. I would like to add a fainting couch though for when ity gets overhwelming, lol.

    I like to stand up in front of my computer and gaze at it from a distance further than where I was sitting a moment ago. As weird as it must look to coworks, doing this helps me get "the bigger picture".
