plonqAfter stressing over it all week, I finally got my quarterly work review today. I need to make a few tweaks to my annual plan as a result, but it's more in the nature of a minor face lift rather than major surgery. Overall it was a very positive review, and I'm happy with the results. I think I will celebrate with a bottle of home-made wine this evening.
The project head (the one who I caught with my "pressure-sensitive buttons" quip awhile back) has spent the last couple of days assembling a slick user manual for this tool we designed, and I have to admit that I am impressed. He's designed a plain-English manual with tables and charts, colour illustrations and a full ToC. Much cool.
They changed out the lights in our elevators over the weekend. There are nine sockets for bulbs in the elevators' ceilings, in which they had five 40-watt bulbs on Friday (four of the sockets have always been empty). When I came in on Monday, they had replaced those with (what appear to be) 60-watt compact fluorescent bulbs. It was especially painful when I showed up for work at 6-something on Monday morning, and the elevator doors parted to reveal this surreally-bright blast of light. If I hadn't been effectively blinded I'd have looked back to see if I had left a permanent shadow on the wall across from the lift.
They removed a couple of the bulbs last night, and while it's still a bit on the bright side in there, it's a bit more bearable.
