A bit more productive day, closer to the weekend.

Well its about halfway through the weekend and things are finally starting to pick up. Though my sleep schedule is a bit bouncy but getting closer to the optimal schedule I wish to fulfill.

Woke up fairly early cause I didn't get a lot of sleep last night, not sure why but I was turning a bit and definitely couldn't put my mind in a unconscious enough state to get to sleep. None the less my system is fairly use to physically shutting down so no issues there so my body wasn't totally blown just my mind slightly. Got out of bed fairly quickly and was able to meet my 7:00 o'clock 'get shower and dress' time as per usually. Definitely glad I'm getting better at that. From their went downstairs checked e-mails, warmed-up cars and did the usually morning routine before work.

Work was a bit more productive today, I'm currently researching about 5 tickets and after 8 days of almost no productivity I finally have access to (I believe) all the applications I need to do my job. It twas a good day and I have a lot of follow-up to do relating to my tickets. Equally I found out a lot of the tickets their sending in are a bit more complex then originally anticipated...so will see where that goes. Not sure if I'm actually eager to go to my new job yet but I'm definitely more motivated seeing how I'm getting there early / on time each day...can't argue against that.

Though there was some disappoint news later on in the day. I found out two of my team members from my previous team actually got their 2 week pink slip which is kind of disappointing. Their was two reason I heard. One was that they need to save money so they had to let them go, the other was they lacked the skill set to continue being an asset to the team. Then again part of me saw this coming at least for one team member the other one...well after he transferred his knowledge about how to run the process he only knew how to run and everyone on the team knew it, no point in keeping him around.

While I have to admit part of me does feel kind of bad as I know how long it took me to find a job and the amount of searching required...though i do hope they find something better and that equally matches there skill set. Though TSYS (main application of TDM) is insanely niche based so not sure where there going to run with that. Equally they both don't have a lot of programing knowledge. I guess eagerness to learn plays a role but really just too much to elaborate on. I'll cut myself short there as I could go on for a bit.

None the less finished the work day on that slightly thought provoking note came home. Put cloths in the wash, manage the budget, blogging (doing that now), cleaned my room and played HoN. I'm actually glad I to be back on a schedule again...well almost back on schedule I'm about an hour off of where I wanna be but that can be tweaked easily. The only other adjustment is adding more productive task, blogging earlier, reading earlier and well doing a lot of stuff earlier. My main test will be tomorrow hanging out with friends.

Think that's all I have to rant on about for now. I might due just a free thought entry tomorrow but for now I'm off to bed. Nite!
