New Year? New Start? January 3, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : She Blinded me with Science , add a commentI am at work today. Yippie! Sad, I know, but after a while, I do miss my work. Plus Luna is being a total pain in the ass lately and I am trying very hard not to strangle her (yes, I love her, no I am not a child abuser, yes, every two year old is a royal pain in the ass at times and she’s in one of those phases).
I spent 1/2 hour cleaning my desk, removing the 2006 day of the year calendar and replacing it with the 2007 one. I bought in my descaled and cleaned coffee machine, my news pens. I recycled a small tree and then attacked my email, which I had not cleaned up since September.
There is something quite cathartic about a new year. It happens at a dead time in the natural cycle, but allows for hope of new and exciting things. I have a piece of software that I am completely revamping. I am printing out the 1500 lines of code (yes, one program, can you say Spaghetti code?) and starting the redesign today. I am rewriting several cron jobs into daemons and I am cleaning my work station so I can start anew!
This makes me very happy to start fresh.
In other news: the plumber came to our house this morning. The gas lines are being plumbed for the fireplace insert. We are having both the upstairs and down stairs fireplaces plumbed, but we are only doing the upstairs fireplace with an insert right now. By the end of the month, we will have a gas insert upstairs and we will be able to turn on the fire with a flick of a switch. Very excited by this. It is cleaner than the furnace and we can set it on a thermostat so we can have it come on by itself to warm the upstairs before we come home from work…Nice…
