Overall, Doing All Right
My job is done. I was going to go in tomorrow morning, but I want to sleep in and finally shake off this illness (still sick, but recovering), and I want to make it to the kick-off for Mystery Hunt at noon. Overall, I've worked a few hours less than I originally expected (minus one day, plus a few hours of overtime), but I feel like I shouldn't worry about missing out on a few hours of pay. I already feel a little bad for going in to work when I really wasn't so well; I know if I was a salaried employee instead of a contractor I would have taken at least one sick day this week. I hope no one at work caught anything unpleasant from me.
Overall, I enjoyed the job. It was extremely interesting, a new sort of work environment for me, my co-workers were quite friendly and supportive, I feel I got a significant amount of work done and provided a good value for my pay. Certainly I feel better about this job than I do about my stint at IBM. Maybe it wasn't quite as fun as my time at Metacarta, but it was perhaps even more educational.
People stayed after work to play poker today ($20 buy-in), and I was the first to wipe out. I'm not very good at poker. Oh, well...
My tongue still hurts from accidentally biting it badly on Monday.
I've seen a lot of fights (generally just verbal altercations, but still) in / around the subway this week and last, which is unusual. The cold weather probably doesn't help the general mood.
Aasted moved in for this week, so things have been cheerfully crowded around the apartment. And Gui is building a climbing wall in the living room.
Life goes on. Things are up and down, but all right.
