good 'n bad 'n plenty

Good stuff:

• Haagen Dazs Mayan Chocolate Ice Cream
• Subversion
• The 15 Mbps internet connection due to be installed tomorrow. Think of all the pr0n, and pirated music, and ... I'm sure there are other things on the internet. Pirated software? Pirated movies? Pirates? Pilates?
  
• She Wants Revenge. Creepy stalker music is the best music.
  

Bad stuff:

• Being the merge/build monkey at work. Some of it is good... I have a good view of the whole project. But, then crunch time comes around, and I'm the guy at the end of the line that has to integrate all the changes before passing things along to CM. Contractors are late with their delivery. Partly because of last-minute requirements updates; partly because of them thinking testing on a virtual Windows host under VMWare is adequate for a system that'll be deployed across 4 Solaris servers. I can't do anything but wait and watch as things come screeching to a halt. Right when things get to me. And I'm taking tomorrow off. And I'm wasting time writing this.
