Today was my first day at work after a week of vacation.
The alarm clock went off far too early. The train ride seemed longer than I remember. I had almost five hundred e-mail messages in my inbox. There were no less than three emergency code releases that needed to be performed last week in my absence, and there’s always paperwork.
Not to mention that there were a few changes that came out of User-Acceptance Testing for the application scheduled to be deployed tomorrow that needed to go in, but both the Development and Testing environments were unavailable for the entire morning. Then the train was delayed on the way home.
Typical, I guess, for the first day back from vacation.
When I got home I sat down in my comfy chair to enjoy a well-deserved beer*.
Oh man, that’s good. That may be the best beer I’ve ever had.
The best beer in the world is the one with which you reward yourself after a rough day on the job.
* In this case, it happens to have been a Flying Dog Old Scratch.

I am officially on vacation for the next week. I don’t expect you’ll see many articles from me during the next nine days or so.
I will, of course, be on the lookout for new and interesting beers, although I’m not traveling very far afield. (Beer and food or gas? Tough decision.)
Anyway, I’ll see you all again around the 18th.
