Half a day at work back in the office and I feel partially brain dead again. What about an office environment is bad for my mind working? I get these flashes of what I know I can do and then it goes. Gah, just frustrating I have to be here as much as I do. Going to work from home again some of the days next week as well.
Strange situation working for this new company. I'm actually getting more money than just my salary. We are getting a bonus this year, my employee stock purchase plan just made me some money, my stock options are worth something even if they aren't all vested, etc, etc. It has been so long since I've been in this position it feels a little strange but exciting. Getting more money together for moving is a great thing. If only the bureaucracy wasn't so much, they are stream lining it via us pulling them forwards but we can only influence so much change. We keep doing things our way and then point out to the other parts of the company how much easier and faster our way is. We have converted quite a few people, especially engineers, so coming over to "our" way is inevitable it seems.
Played some more of the Skyrim expansion last night. There seems to be a lot of stuff dotted around in this one to do. I've run in to a dozen things to do and I've barely explored the starting area. This game just seems to get me compulsively doing everything I can find and explore every nook and cranny. At this rate my play time on my one main character is going to go over 200 hours. Kind of nuts but cool at the same time. Can't wait to see what they come up with in the next game whether it be Elder Scrolls or Fallout based.
One final thing for today. Loved going out with my wife for dinner last night. I ate a lot of food but it just being me and her out together is brilliant. Sure we live together in our house and are there a lot of the time but going somewhere different like we do every other week is so worth it. Now I just need to make sure my stomach can keep up with the dinner I order :| .
