Irregular comments, noticings, and perhaps the occasional observation.

Where does the time go when it's not around here?

Begin the day more deliberately than usual in some respects: feet hitting the floor, acknowledging the work that begins today in the AAD, though I am unable to participate directly. Something also missing: forget to package up and freeze some soup I made last night, no real consciousness on the drive in, mind not even wandering - just going into some thoughtless dead-zone. If the last was intentional (and not while driving) it might have been worthwhile.

Monday greets me with a small service level hit: delay in a production process with a cause that should have been caught yesterday after a scheduled reboot. These simple things continue to elude us.

Checking on the QA runs from the weekend, and results line up as expected. Barring some disaster, we release tomorrow. I have some confidence in this going cleanly, but history continues to temper any optimism I have.

So, not a disaster, but another delay. One set of parameters were input incorrectly and need to be adjusted. Another small item that could have been caught if we were more attentive. Pecked to death by ducks.

Home in the evening, clean up the forgotten soup, make left-over sauce with bread and fresh mozzarella. Crank the wood stove up again, as the weather is shifting back to late-autumn, early-winter this eveining.
