Jeff Billimek’s Journal

Being that it was a Friday today, Jen had off from work. I’m pretty jealous that she gets a three-day weekend.

During work today we did some more DB2 table reorg work. It was a long-running task so it went a long longer than normal and indeed was not supposed to be complete until around 6pm this evening.

This afternoon I attended an extremely painful meeting about interfaces between systems. It boiled down to a difference of opinion and as a result, things are going to be very hard on many levels. The main source of my frustration is rooted in the fact that we can’t get anyone to make a hard decision, so instead we seem to flounder. But that aside, it is definitely a learning process to deal with a solution that doesn’t seem ‘right’ but the one we have to do anyway. That is a hard thing to accept.

On my way out of the office I dropped Sameer off at the airport. He’s going to be in India for the next three weeks.

When I got home Jen and I made plans to go out to the grocery store for some supplies. However, I got paged by Brian to join a conference call at 6pm so I had to skip out on going to the store. Jen left without me.

I logged into work and joined the conference call. It lasted about an hour until everything was taken care of.

Jen accidentally left her wallet at home so she came by to get it so she can pay for the groceries. I went with her this time and we paid for the groceries and came home. Before we left I bought a lottery ticket.

After we got home, Jen made salad and a wonderful tofu curry with garbonzo beans for dinner. It was quite tasty!

Before bed we watched two episodes of Alias.
