Just a ramble about the day

I had a rather long day at work. I ended up working a ten hour shift, which is an hour longer than the shift I worked on Tuesday. But I needed to work that many hours to get my time in on a particular project. I believe I mentioned earlier that I was working on-site for Customer A and at my own company's office for Customer B. Well, in theory, I'm now assigned to Customer A full time.

However, Customer B still needs some of my time. That project took longer than expected, and we're still doing testing. As the only software engineer on the project, they need my support. So in addition to working a full week at Customer A's site, I'm trying to come in to our office for a few hours a week to support the work on Customer B's stuff. I put in two and a half hours total over Tuesday and Wednesday morning. As I had things to do that evening, I didn't put in a full eight hours at Customer A's site those days. So today was the day to make up the difference.

As a reward to myself for working so hard this week, I decided to come directly over here to Equal Grounds again after work. I decided to give their black bean wrap a try for dinner. It's actually pretty good. So here I sit, munching on a wrap and nachos and washing it all down with an iced tea. It's practically a perfect evening, especially when you consider that an episode of Law & Order is on the television, which is about fifteen feet or so directly ahead of me. So while I'm doing my writing, I also get treated to a great show. Of course, I've already seen this episode, but there aren't many I haven't seen already. I used to be a Law & Order fanatic.

Oh, back on the work topic (sort of), let me just say that I'm amazed by the incredible number of good looking guys that work for Customer A. Of course, most of them also seem to be incredibly young. I'm beginning to wonder if they hire 85% or better of their employees directly out of RIT. And actually, I know that at least two of the guys working on my team are co-ops from there. It's just crazy.

Not that I'd chase any of them. That would be a nightmare waiting to happen. Besides, I've decided I'd rather be the one being chased. ;)
