Monday morning...back to the salt mine

<em>Note:  I'm working today not really because I have to, it actually is a holiday at my company. Technically I do have the day off. However, today is my code complete date for a project I've been working on...you know, the one I've been complaining about so much lately. Alpha testing starts tomorrow with all our testers. I'm just doing some final  unit testing, hoping to get it as bug free as possible. I should have come in Saturday or Sunday instead, but I was too lazy. :)</em><br /><br />It's 7am, and I'm in the office today. Alone. It's so quiet, peaceful. I almost wish it was like this every day. I work in a cubicle, with about sixty other people on my floor. We're the epitome of the movie Office Space.<br /><br />Want to see...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRXxbsupBkIFCZanjA-3JBudlc1KwwPu62g5aWbvqKqoCve92a4AwmETtojzYmykAnGkzbUF-A-G3aYd1iGDD2S7bbnQbMgaqCstbfhajH5jYvJ-cZrOuwsCyAgEgOvYx-INkNLt6dLoJ/s1600/IMG00994-20100906-0658.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRXxbsupBkIFCZanjA-3JBudlc1KwwPu62g5aWbvqKqoCve92a4AwmETtojzYmykAnGkzbUF-A-G3aYd1iGDD2S7bbnQbMgaqCstbfhajH5jYvJ-cZrOuwsCyAgEgOvYx-INkNLt6dLoJ/s320/IMG00994-20100906-0658.jpg" /></a></div><br />That's my "I don't care what I look like" hair. I'm also wearing workout clothes so I can go the gym later. I'm going to the Bally's in Kent. I've never been there before, but it's about an 11-minute drive. It'll be a nice break to get out of the office for a while during what I think is going to be a grueling day.<br /><br />Here's what the floor looks like when no one is here:<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNYVliYqKayroVnUGje6BpCTF4Y3a8C9GRRv7EPboRHNMB72Nn5Zhuv_3FsneC4X2WL__LJwdSg5li43t2Sd_Qh0DrADMFTcQS4IFED4RysNrz0L7YmlSea_oRAGVIMPS-F2SspZGqhwrq/s1600/IMG00995-20100906-0703.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNYVliYqKayroVnUGje6BpCTF4Y3a8C9GRRv7EPboRHNMB72Nn5Zhuv_3FsneC4X2WL__LJwdSg5li43t2Sd_Qh0DrADMFTcQS4IFED4RysNrz0L7YmlSea_oRAGVIMPS-F2SspZGqhwrq/s320/IMG00995-20100906-0703.jpg" /></a></div><br />Here's the view outside the window. There's a tree already turning to it's fall colors. Fall is definitely in the air this morning. Cold. Cloudy. Rainy.
