So ready for the weekend

Well as promised I plan to do a double blog update tonight as I missed yesterday and can definitely go on about how each day was.

Wednesday:

From initially reflecting back on Wednesday I don't believe a lot happen. At least after work but work itself was fairly busy. When I first thought I did all the work relating to one ticket it was pointed out to me that I completely neglected to test a couple workflows. I knew how the process worked initially but I wasn't familiar with how the actually workflows worked or where they were located in the application. So the major span that I spent working on yesterday was testing a great deal of scenarios to make sure the forms print correctly. Basically CarMax allows a customer the ability to sell and/or appraise their cars to them through multiple ways. You can have an order in which they just appraise the vehicle but does not sell it, another in which they appraise and sell it, another in which appraise sells it and buys a new vehicle along with it...the list goes on. Also there's variables such as single seller, multiple sellers, single seller with single buyer of a new car and ...ya it goes on. So that was all the time I spent at work yesterday. Equally I found out that I was submitting my time sheets incorrectly however it would not effect me getting payed the following day which is great :).

As for the rest of the evening (and it seems the later portion of this week I've been quite lazy at home playing HoN and re-watching Akagi as its overall a great series. There's still a few things on my list I need to take care of however there not super high priority so I haven't felt all that motivated to nail them out the way. I might get some of it done this weekend. Task I speak of are of limited concern such as organize bathroom supplies, ways to improve my already effective budget in terms of cost breakdown, and a few other thigns. There are a few other task such as reading, running, and cleaning the bathroom I plan to get to by this weekend. But at the time felt no hurry. That was pretty much Wednesday.

Bah I totally forgot to mention I ran into another geek there I've been talking to on and off. Supposedly he recognized me from when I use to ddr at VCU and we had a good chat about the days of arrows scrolling past along with current mmo environment. It pleased me that we were both in agreement of the whole 'slacking' relating to feeling accomplished when you play them now. I don't mean accomplished like 'yay we all did well' but more so the 'nice work dude your the first on the server to acquire this stupidly low percent drop craft item'. That sorta thing. Won't rant about it but was pleased to meet another person that had that train of thought. He also has a similar model Sansa MP4 player and I showed him the benefits of using Rockboxs....hopefully i can get him to convert >:).

Thursday/Today:

Today went down pretty well and overall can't complain at the overall progress of the day. Work wise I was still being kept fairly busy so quite pleased about that. For my meeting involving the work 'selling a car' work flow went well as I started going over every possible scenario I could think of. Seemed most people in the room were quite impressed not to mention it seemed a lot less stressful with a good bit of joking on and off. Their was one other meeting today but not much was done with it as the other member from another team wasn't in the office to discuss the details. I did find out one of the major forms I was suppose to work on that I had no idea how to approach is no longer part of my work. It was passed on to someone else that has a bit more experience in the area... I'm a bit mixed on this as on one hand it was one hell of a learning opportunity. While on the other hand there was a strong chance I would struggle with it.

Today I stepped away from the whole appraisal thing as it was slowly driving me crazy so I started working on another form which needs to be changed in 26 different states. Got another state down today so at my current rate I might be done by....sometime in March, at least one would hope. Had another chance to show the awesomeness of the MP4 player with its video quality guy was pleased. I really hope he comes in tomorrow with a RockBox installations lol. I did spent a small bit of time on appraisals but it was basically a dead end as I found out that the scenario was impossible due to the design of the workflow.

On the way home or rather to a friends place I did give my weekends plans some thought. Right now I'm stuck between HoN benge, Aquaria, Mother 3, and Zelda for games. Reading I would immerse myself in 1984 as that's far overdue. Part of me might go running as the weather is fairly nice in the evening now but will see.

The hangout session tonight wasn't shabby. Helped move some chairs to my friends truck which wasn't all that bad and then the rest of the evening consisted of Zombie Dice and Dominion. I didn't win a single games tonight but after not playing board games for so long I was just glad to finally play some. I realized the flaw in my domino strategy so I should be good for next time. Unfortunately (or fortunately) no tabletop tonight which is a slight bummer...might be one next week its suppose to be a FallOut style (not a huge fan of Fall Out with the exception of Tactics) which I figured anything is worth a go once. Also I was force to take home cookies....so lame, gonna make me fat +1.

After I got home jumped on HoN didn't see any friends on though so just idled for a bit watched a bit more Akagi and now ... I'm about ready for sleep. Night all off to bed with me :)
