not sure where i stand

the day began as usual: waking up for an antiobiotic breakfast, then trying to get back to sleep. i was doing okay, too, until a flurry of sms'es, an unhappy call to my mother's bank (turns out that not everyone who works there is friendly and helpful) and a call from nystire at the ungodly hour of 10.30am (yes - that's *sleep* time!) ensured that i was still rubbing my eyes by the time noon came around and i had to get to my bank before it closed.

at least the good news rolled in while i was on my way - i'm now in possession of an indian visa ^_^

i met up with urchin and we went to sit at a cafe on shenkin; i had a brilliant english breakfast and as usual we didn't run out of things to talk about. i'm amused by the difference in perspective - she's working way harder than me for half the amount of money, and both of us are embarrassed about the amounts we're earning at the moment :P

i walked back home singing a crapella as is my wont, strapped on my blades and sped off - yes, you read that correctly, the wind was at my back - to work.

for the first time since i was given the current change, i was able to sit down and actually do something. i discovered that the code is complex, and the code is solid, but the code isn't readable. when i finally found the classes i needed to edit, i rewrote them legibly and then made my changes.
so - my first flex fix (the other one was in java), and after acquiring help to test it i was most pleased with the results.

the best bit is being quite certain that it's good. my first sigh of success from our flex beast ^_^

from that to working the mail station again - it was during the setup that that argument took place. i'm still feeling bad about it :(

i learned tonight about the meaning of the mail station. there were technical difficulties and all hell broke loose, and it's my job to identify call loads and jump down to the regular agent stations to help out. it's not a problem to blog and keep an eye on an inbox, but it's kinda difficult to blog and keep an eye on an inbox and watch the call board which is blocked by the screens next to me :P

... and the night goes on...
