I’ve thought about starting a journal for a while now and figured if I don’t start now I may never. And keeping it on the web might not be a bad thing. This way, I can access it from anywhere, and update it in real time.
Also, none of you know me so I have nothing to fear or be embarrassed about.
Today started off horribly. I got woken up at 4:30 this morning by a Jersey City number. No one was on the other end when I answered.
Of course I couldn’t fall back to sleep. I stared at the ceiling for about an hour before I finally got out of bed.
I went into the kitchen and made a cup of coffee while I watched the news. Same old crap as every other day. I flipped channels and stopped on the Discovery channel. They had some show about shark attacks in a New Jersey river almost a hundred years ago. Supposedly Peter Benchley used it for the basis of his novel Jaws.
After I finished my coffee, I ironed my clother for today and hopped in the shower. To be honest, it felt good not to have to rush. Not that I normally rush. But I do have my morning routine down to the minute. Otherwise I will miss my train into the city and I’ll have to wait almost 20 minutes for another.
The commute into the city was bad; most of the people in the quiet car remained quiet amd we pulled into Penn Station New York only 12 minutes late.
Work was went well today. I had only a few QA tickets to work on, with no real issues to block progress.
The commute home ran only 5 minutes late. There was a blackout in the town next to mine so I had to take a small detour around because of traffic lights that were out.
For dinner, I heated up some leftovers from Saturday night from when Alex and I went out. She left her curry chicken here so I figured I could have it. Since she’s away on business this week, I think she would rather me eat it than have it go to waste.
