Victory!
Well, I took the bread I baked yesterday to the office, and it got good reviews from my cow-orkers. My boss (who is quite a card) looked at it and said, "That even looked home-made!"
Work today seemed like one endless stream of e-mail. We're reaching the moment of truth in our current release (i.e., the point where we'll actually release it) so the documenters are trying to clarify things for their own purposes, and we ended up going over things that I'd coded six months ago, but which are now changing subtly. It's hard to remember something you did in a big hurry six months ago and have barely looked at since! But you can easily spend hours answering e-mail and hunting down answers to questions and pretty soon the whole work day is gone.
Of course, when the work day is gone then it's time to go home, and that's usually a good thing!
We just play among friends, so we don't bother with tournament rules, except for a few to keep things from getting too unbalanced. We just play to have fun, and try not to build decks which can crush any other deck instantly; what fun is that?
Anyway, so we got together to play tonight, and I had an unusually good night. First I won two-out-of-three 1-on-1 games with a deck I hadn't played before. Then I one a hard-fought three-person game. I hardly ever win the multi-person free-for-alls because everyone seems to gang up on me (my decks are pretty good, as I said, but I don't think I play them very well; in the hands of an expert they're a lot deadlier). But overall it was a good night.
I can easily talk about baseball for a long time if you get me started. I really enjoy the sport, even if I think that the owners are nincompoops. I'll try to refrain from too much blather on the subject in this journal; I can usually get most of it out of my system on the Red Sox Mailing List.
