Today I have work, and a doctor appointment with two of the three kids. 

 Work should be easy, just some coding and a debrief meeting for the interview I gave on Thursday.

 The doc appointment is at CHOP so it is almost a whole day event. So far the children have all been pretty healthy so there is no cause for alarm here. 

Today went pretty much as planned. Got to say goodbye to some people after PENNSCYPAA and enjoyed seeing all the posts on the Facebook group from members from all over. It truly is the bright spot of our lives.  I'm still super pumped up. Great fellowship, great fun, great spirituality, what more could one want? 

I manned a table at PENNSCYPAA last night and forgot to render the proceeds to the treasurer afterward. Whoops. I'll need to meet up with him this afternoon and remedy the situation. 

My wife and I were supposed to go to one of her friend's places to pick up something or other but that event has been pushed into next month so today is a day of relaxation. Fantastic!  

PENNSCYPAA is fantastic! So many people in recovery. So much energy. So much enthusiasm. Everyone there to help everyone else maintain sobriety and live a great life in recovery. 

Just fantastic. It's like a giant party where Noone is consuming any mind altering substances but an outsider would swear we were all rolling. Just amazing recovery, amazing sobriety and amazing love. 

Yesterday's events went along with little obstruction. The I get knew went smoothly, the man is young and hungry. I think he can find a place with this company. 

I saw an old acquaintance on the train going into the office yesterday. I had not seen her in a while so it was a great surprise to be able to chat with her.  

Today will likely be a simpler day. I have not been to a meeting in quite some time, I should go to one today also PENNSCYPAA has begun so I will attend that as well. 

This will be a fairly typical day. I have a one on one with my skip-level superior; they always run smoothly. 

Also, I have to interview a man for a position on my team. Apparently I referred him to HR but I do not recall his name, I am sure I will recognize him upon sight. Since I referred him, I am sure the interview will go well, I don't refer people without prior confidence.  

The rest of the day will be uneventful. I shall test and finish up my work on splitting data pipelines between 'good' and 'bad' data.

It is a Thursday so I'll be arriving to and leaving from the office early. 

Today, work was odd. The way things are supposed to work is there are 3 sets of servers. One for development, one for testing and one more for production. Developers my myself use the dev machines to do work, they are constantly in Flux. The test machines are used for QA. Finally, the production machines are customer facing. 

 Today, production wanted to use the dev machines to do a demo. The day started with questions as to why certain things functioned differently than  what was expected on dev. This is normal and expected. As a developer I need to stay ahead of what the customers need now so they customers can have MORE later. This is how a healthy software service improves. 

This was frustrating but, I did not yell at anyone. I was able to get a great deal done without access to these servers. Although I could not test anything I created, I still feel it was a productive day. Hopefully the bulk of tomorrow can be used for testing.
