EDJ #6

19:04 Still working.  A big problem was found in the next version of the foundational software that our system runs on.  It’s looking like I’m going to have to do a bunch of recoding.  This is not good news as all testing was to be completed by next Wednesday.  I’m afraid this looks like I’ll be working some over the weekend.  My wife and daughter won’t like this one bit.  I don’t blame them.  It’s my wife’s weekend off (she works every other weekend), and we like spending the time together.  I’m sure I can strike up a balance somehow.  Maybe do most of my work at night.  Of course that nixes any possibility of any nocturnal activities.

15:04 A college radio station in Canada interviewed Soto Zen priest (and former punk rocker) Brad Warner.  It’s a good interview.  Stay with the audio even when that weird sounding guy comes on.  I almost turned it off when he came on but I’m glad I didn’t.  No fluffy Zen here, just real, pure life Zen.

07:37 Good morning all!  I hope this bright new day finds you all well.  Today is going to be a nice relaxing work at home day.  The thing I like best about a work at home day is that I don’t have to spend 2+ hours in the car.  I do however need to be a little bit more on top of myself as far as discipline to the tasks at hand are concerned. Sometimes it’s just too easy to get distracted when at home.  How do you folks do it?  Any advice out there?
