high-low

a good start to the morning, that was! the rest of the day was sort of mediocre... i got a ride to base, and immediately set to work.

best army birthday ever: the kinder brought ice-cream cake for his birthday yesterday. not only did it provide lots of entertainment prior to eating (it was frozen solid), but was such a ridiculous concentration of chocolate and sugar that everyone got completely silly: with hilarious results :D

the primary focus of the day was Keeping Calm. it got to a point where every few minutes i was doing the lamaze thing; at one of my sighs my TL shouted across the division - "GOOD!" :P

so in spite of the general lack of cooperation from the person i'm working with, and the fact that i'm not nearly ready to meet my new deadlines, and windows' attempt to goad me into physically breaking something* i managed to get through the day in a relatively relaxed state and i think i may be able to get the hang of this.

i was thinking about the fight / flight thing: i don't think it holds unless there's an element of fear, so i don't know how i can test myself.

we had a team evening last night, we watched the prestige (more intense the second time) and ate lasagne - it was really good, worth the resulting ordeal. if i make a conscious decision to suffer a bit for something tasty, then i can deal with the consequences.

i'm off to tel aviv university with the kid for their open day.
