travis' brain dump

One hour into work and I’m done with my list of things I wanted to get done for the day. I really need to stop being this productive or quick on completing tasks.

Taking a look at my project board, everything that is queued up on there is waiting on something from someone else here. *taps fingers on desk* how frustrating. *shrug* One would think my tasks lists are just simple but here’s what I’m working on today:

• Wait on someone to make code changes so I can run compiles and watch it break over and over again and say ‘ nope, still not right ‘ (in progress)
• Update the project plan for our new projects opening up – includes project items and time-frames for planning meetings (done)
• Plan out the week for updates, fixes/patches, etc on systems around the network and assign duties for other minor things. (done)
• Write up a status report (done)
• Recheck compile and release documentation (done)

 I love my job, I really do. There are plenty of times there are challenges to face and conquer but sometimes… it’s downright dead. Of course once this new project we’re starting kicks off in May I probably will be complaining I have too much to do and manage. LOL  

So… yeah. *scratches head* oh… also, did I mention it’s lonely in here? LOL We have three people here right now in this office. Everyone else is either on vacation, out of town or otherwise cutting work. wtf!? At least I have people to slack off with across the hall in the other offices. lol But on the management side of things, everyone is MIA. I may escape today… *crosses fingers* we’ll see. Depends on how long it takes Rick to find out why this piece of code that can’t be figured out won’t compile correctly. It’s a mystery to all and the complaint from the compiler is right there. Probably something simple and stupid that is so far under our noses we can’t see it. hmm… I have errands to run too… procrastinate… ok i’ll run them tomorrow. 🙂

Well, there is always more blogging, surfing the web and text messaging with Mike and Sharon. 😀 I can’t complain there seeing as how those are the only two that really text message me, lol. At least I have the ability to flex my hours and still get stuff done as well as make some time to be with my girl, run errands and whatever during the day sometimes. Can’t beat that. 🙂

Maybe I’ll write more later. I need to do some things with my music collection.
