every so often...

i get to smile a lot. a whole lot.

i got to bed really early yesterday evening, and i woke up this morning before my alarm. and i felt good!

i made the early bus, and combining that with my leaving at 6.30pm, that lets me go home 2 hours early on sunday. or monday. or whenever ^_^

we started off the day with a team meeting. it was an amusing half hour, and it looks like our project might survive. a bit later i gave our team leader an introduction to the new system, and took him through all the different sections we're working on. it was actually fun! he had an issue with something, so i found the other s'effrican and we discussed how to deal with database connection pools. basically we came up with contingency plans if our current system doesn't support a heavy load.

once again, large parts of the day with j-girl. i went to wait with her for her bus home in the afternoon, and we finally had a candid discussion about everything. either things really began with that conversation, or they really ended - what can i do? i'll remain hopeful. and as i said to chitty, whatever happens, happens ;)

we got a LOT of work done today - and the scout stayed late with me to work on some outstanding issues. i got something half-working, which is never good, and so sunday will see us with some new types of problems to work with. but we've pretty much completed all the primary stuff ^_^

and the mongoose has agreed to work with us sunday on the design. can't say fairer than that.

i got a call from the medsupply contact this evening, to double check on our status. i plan on working the weekend away, so i'm hoping everything will be cool by the beginning of the week - it's time to get busy on the actual application, and stop farting around.

he informed me that yogi finally proposed today, and the getting-married couple are on their way back right now to begin all the family talks :D i managed to call them just before they left, and it's all rather exciting. the man's a king, though - got together a seriously organized proposal in amsterdam, romantic bastard :P

i have to get to work at midnight, so i'm deciding whether to crash for a bit, or go out for a bit... life is suddenly SO good, that in a weird way i'm grateful for all the shit and stress at the beginning of the week... how about that perspective, yeah?
