If Dr. Wily ate a potato would he turn green?

Overall today wasn't too shabby I'm blogging a bit later than I care for once again but can't complain none the less. As the week progresses I'm finding that there is a +1 to the task meter for each day that passes. For example my state check (refund) has been sitting at my mom's place for a bit, equally I found out today that possible my last paycheck from my previous Employer also arrived. I'm trying my best to resist the urge to book it down their to pick'em as I would like to hit multiple birds with a single stone if I hang out possibility is present. Though this portion was toward the end of the day which I shall get to...but first morning.

Woke up at approximately 6:30 this morning and had that typically feeling some/one may get when they know the alarm is to go off in about 10 minutes. You can choose to get out the bed early or just lie down for another 10 minutes and come to the reality of actually getting the day started. I choose the latter. Usually morning routine and for once actually was ahead of schedule by 3 minutes from getting out the shower. Though regardless of this fact I still wasn't at my cubical till about 8:03. Not sure if I'm actually caring at this point but I will have to as next week I'll need to arrive a bit earlier to attend to one of my first releases...looking forward to it as I did another practice session for it today and it went smoothly.

For the most part of the work day I spent updating forms as per usually and actually finished a good chuck of my work around 2:30 which left me kind of floating there. Equally I have to refresh all the databases I burned through so that's another 2 days I need to figure out what I need to do with. Part of me is thinking going above and beyond and writing a document for test case scenarios...if tomorrows really slow I'll make such an effort. Either that or document the on boarding process lol. Though time passed by fairly quickly as I listen to a good chuck of Book 6 of Harry Potter. I'll need to obtain another audiobook soon though as I'm guessing by the end of next week I'll be done with the series...again.

When work concluded I went on home and discovered that the front door to the garage was open...however all two of the spare cars were there. This definitely threw up a red flag so I entered and saw the second door opened as well. I continued to proceed forward and grabbed the giant wooden spoon from my dad's wall in case their was an intrude. Equally at the same time I called my dad on his cell phone. After a brief discussion it turned out that he was actually in a hurry and forgot to lock up the house before departing. With this relief on my mind I placed the Spoon back on the wall and proceed to start up dinner.

The formally retired Formen grill got to see a bit of use today as I cooked hot dogs on it. I was unable to locate the grease trap device so I used a plate which also elevated the grill. Usually it takes about 30-45 minutes to cook hot dogs the way I prefer them on it however in about 10-15 minutes they were fairly burnt and well cooked. Supposedly cooking them horizonal is the trick though I don't think it captures as much grease as it should... no idea though it did throw off my timing for cooking tatter tots though. I made them shortly after so no worries there.

After dinner listen to a 1 hour interview that was held with one of the HoN developers and played a few rounds which turned out well. Also gave Chris's recently Minecraft map a go and it wasn't shabby. Had the wrong mindset initially looking for an objective to complete but then I remembered it was minecraft so I started free roaming for about a good .5-1 hour. That was pretty much it for the day I plan to get a good bit of Aquaria in tomorrow if there's no hangout session and do a freelance blog. Though if I do hang out tomorrow then I plan to do this extra task on Thursday. It will definitely be attend to this week though.

In either case I'm off to bed have a light bit of reading I want to get done before sleep. Night all!
