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.
