My head is hurting in both the slightly literal sense and in the confused as all hell sense. Somehow I've got a little bit of a headache right now that an ibuprofen should kick the arse of pretty soon. Other than that though it has been a day of overworking my brain.
Firstly I've been trying to think of anything I would want for my upcoming 40th birthday. At the moment I have no freaking idea of a gift I would like, not that I usually have ideas for gifts that is. A 40th birthday is kind of a milestone though so my wife wants to get me something worthy of the occasion but I'm really struggling for ideas right now.
The other way my head is hurting is because I'm trying to scope out about 5 different feature requests on the product I'm working on right now and designing that many different things at once is taxing to say the least. Not that making the features work is going to be hard. They need to be done right though and that is where the thought comes in since I need to get enough detail down to work out how long each thing is going to take (down to each stage of development granularity) as well as making sure the detail is enough for anyone idiot to actually do the work since I won't be doing all of these features. I know this is what I get paid for but some days I would just like it to be a bit more relaxing than having to think so much. I could get a different job I suppose but I doubt they would pay as reasonably well as this one does.
Anyway, on to other things while I let my brain rest from working. No idea where that interviewee is at all today, not heard back from HR either, so way to go in getting yourself a job that guy. Unless there is some good excuse I doubt we will be giving him a second chance to be honest.
Almost came home with another cat the other day, we were at the pet shop stocking up on food and litter and as usual took a brief look at the cats up for adoption. There was one siamese that my wife really liked that tempted us. I think in the long term we would love to have lots of cats if we had room for them all. Maybe we could run a cat home or something when I finally get to retire? I don't know, I just love the little buggers.
More doctor and physiotherapy stuff for my wife this afternoon. This doctor is the ortho doc that prescribed the physio so hopefully if there has been enough progress she can finish this round of physio and be done. Not sure how unstuck her shoulder is but the physio person yesterday said it had good movement even if my wife can't move her arm completely by herself. Speaking of shoulders, both mine and my wife's are sore from where we had our vaccinations the other day. It is especially painful for me wife since that is the shoulder being manipulated in her physio sessions.
Right, back to work once more for an hour before lunch. Then I have one more meeting to go over a feature design and I can get out of here and be done with another day at work.
