Work

[bcholmes]

I kvetch about work some times. But mostly my experience of work is fun.

Today, we had New Guy join our project. We went out to lunch at one of the local pubs, and told funny stories.

Most of the rest of the day, Professional Drunkard and I worked together launching a new project. Using the miracle of copy-and-paste (and a smidgen of respectable reuse) we had our new system started, app running, initial login working, basic security, database, temporary graphics and stylesheet, autobuild and repeatable tests. As soon at the ops guys give us a VM and a URL, we can make it available for our customers to poke and prod.

And I feel this great sense of accomplishment. We started the project today. Tomorrow, we can sit with the customer rep, and have them touch all of the blinkenlights. Fast. Solid. Works. Makes me happy.
