This week has been crazy. Work has been a mad scramble, trying to meet a few deadlines before I take off next week. I am really looking forward to total decompression, that state you get to when just staring at a particular brick in a wall is an accomplishment. I’ve been an asshat at work while all of this has been going on, which is probably not doing me any good.

However, things are actually happening. Good code (I think) is being written, decisions about design are being made that will hopefully result in a solution that is sustainable, extensible, and maintainable. We’ll find out once our repository starts to scale.

On a different note, I was picking up groceries yesterday, and I normally make it a point to either reuse vegetable bags from home, or unpack store cardboard containers and move them to things easier to carry home in my pack. The end result is that this makes me an annoying pain in the ass at the cash, but I leave sort of feeling good about myself. Yesterday, after doing all of this, some knob comes through the checkout behind me with a double bagged ear of corn. He then also asks the person for a regular bag to carry it out in. The cashier gave me a look, we smiled, and that was it.

I am going to try to put up a recipe for punjabi chole in the next few days.
