What have you accomplished today?

[Podkayne]

I have:

- Gotten a haircut.
- Picked a bunch of dead skin off the soles of my feet.
- Printed two (2) graphs.
- Fixed a stupid I/O bug in one of my programs.
- Started up a huge calculation which is currently grinding my advisor's Solaris workstation into the dirt. (In retrospect, there were other things I could have been noodling around with, instead of watching this chug, so I should have fiddled around with those and started the massive job right before I left. C'est la vie.)
- Written two (2) paragraphs of my thesis.
- Resisted the urge to go down to the vending machine to get chocolate.

Are we impressed? What have you accomplished with your day?

[GreyWanderer]

- Cut my fingernails

That's about it I think...

[Lobsang]

Bought a rain cover for a future mountain bike purchase.

Quickly re-learned a bit of SQL to provide some complex information from a database at work.

Decided what mountain bike I want.

It's my first day back so not much.

[Harborwolf]

Cleaned out the freezer. Removed old and busted garbage disposal and replaced with newer, more bad ass version with much help from my lovely assistant Alias. I may clean out the fridge later now that all the junk can get tossed down the drain.

Right now, it's Guiness time. :D

[LadyMack]

Got outta bed.
Drank coffee.
Read the boards.

[Prancer]

Got rid of digital cable in favor of the much cheaper basic. (Difficulty rating with 1 being easy and 10 being very hard = 9)

Helped four students with research projects (2)

Ate an old-ish, spotted banana (6)

[Rushgeekgirl]

I'm proud to say I just washed yesterday's dirty dishes.

I cleaned the litter box.

I also fed bananas to Issy and made my bed.

As soon as I pull the chicken out of the oven and warm up some tortillas my day will be complete!

[VenusProbe]

I spent a good portion of the morning upgrading my cell service and phones, I was on hold/transferred 3 times after not being able to do what I needed to do online. The hold time exceeded 20 minutes total after chatting online with customer service who gave me an 800 number to call and spending 1 1/2 hours trying to find it myself.

listened to 7 voice mails, responded to only one of them.
attended 1 meeting
participated in 1 conference call
wrote a couple hunderd lines of code. (while on hold and during the conference call)
had lunch at my desk and read the boards, still reading them actually. :D

[Nunavut Boy]

Managed to get up.

WEnt to work, where I am trying to figure out & set up this new westernblot method for H. pylori IgG detection. Talked to some guy in Germany for 3 hours on telephone with the problems I was having. After doing the (long) procedure, I ended up with 95% positive rate (should be around 50%) for the second time. Now I am PISSED OFF!

Home eating dinner now.

[saramamalana]

- Ate cereal.
- Went to orthopedist and learned I do not need knee surgery.
- Took the car to get a tire fixed (screw stuck in it).

- Called the lawyers to let them know I don't need knee surgery.
- Called the hospital where I'm supposed to intern next year and I still don't know who my field supervisor will be. Grrrr.
- Had an hour-long massage.
- Helped dad put together tonight's chef salad, which I now must go eat!

I rolled a twenty-sided die at least 96 times. Pseudarandom number generators aren't secure, so....

[Cunctator]

I've knocked three items off today's "To Do" list already, and it's only 9.30am. The next one (finalising some role statements) will take me through until lunchtime though I suspect.

[Little Nemo]

It's my day off. I was busier yesterday.
- Made a doctor's appointment for next month and got my prescription refilled.
- Exchanged a defective DVD I bought last week.
- Stimulated the local economy by buying some books and comics and DVDs.
- Bought some groceries.

[Sofis]

When I woke up this morning (well, it was noon, but whatever), the command interpreter of the computer game I'm making was a 1274 line awful mess involving triply nested switch statements.
Now, ~16 hours later, it's a neat and nicely modular system that can easily transition from one state to another, which does not require me to fiddle about much in order to save the information it needs, and which can be simply extended as needed.

So, I'm satisfied.

(And tired.)

[Leroy Brown]

Did the laundry
Bought groceries
Caught four mackerel on my freind's boat (no keepers - too small)
Ate a turkey pot pie instead of planned fish sandwich

** I found a litter of Gordon Setter puppies in the club newsletter that seem to be just what I have been looking for , and called the breeder , made arrangements to buy a little Gordon boy ! :D

It doesn't look like much, but I'm tired! :)

Stopped the maintenance man from coming into my apartment. The office manager needs to write more clearly, and I need to always wear my robe.This is why I got a chain for the door of my last apartment. After maintenance came into my apartment twice while I was in the shower, management even agreed to install it for me at no charge. :D
