Tuesday's not bad

Wednesday was pretty good, too.

Tuesday I mostly worked at home, but figured I'd better put in some "face time." My boss also wanted to meet with me to make sure he and I had the same list of tasks and goals.

I got on site and got to check out my new cubicle. It's more private than the old one. It currently shares an ethernet drop, which means half the time I have no net access. The Facilities Director gave me a mouse for my laptop unit. I was nervous at first when I saw baby stuff in my cube; turns out it was temporarly stashed there from his van when he was hauling stuff from our storage area to the dump.

I waited over two hours for my boss to get out of a meeting, then gave up around 7:15pm. While waiting I chatted with the Director of Engineering. He asked me when I was going to have online help ready for one of the products. I told him I'd turned it in a couple of weeks ago. He asked me to click on the "On-line Help" icon to see what it did. Voila! My online help was there -- and he liked it!

I also previewed the online help I'm doing for the other product. He was concerned it'd be loading lots of data; I assured him the opposite was true. I have designed that help to be as minimally invasive as possible.

After work I went home to make dinner for myself and Warren. I had all the ingredients for the night's meal:

• filet of sole almondine
• oriechette con broccoli (with lots of garlic)
• roasted eggplant with fresh mozzarella drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar

I thought I had all the ingredients.
