My first day was anti-climactic. On Friday, the people at my first assignment told me that they couldn’t possibly start me until Wednesday, so I better stay home. I read up on ASP.NET (I’m definitely into over-preparing now), went to the gym, made dinner, and moved some furniture. (Moving furniture is the surest sign of cabin fever, so the gym visit was really just therapeutic.)
Oh, and Twitter readers already know that I gave up caffeine for today. It’s probably been a year since I skipped a day, but after a Rockstar on Thursday, a Rockstar on Friday, a Rockstar on Saturday (to take care of my hangover, naturally), and Caribou yesterday, I am seeing those diminishing returns that stimulant addicts talk about. If I can stay clean until my job starts Wednesday, coffee / Rockstar might just be a weekend treat. (Or, if I resort to a daily Diet Coke, I’ll be no worse off than my wife, who doesn’t have any caffeine-related health concerns.)
Anyway, there’s a note to let you know what happened today.
