Slept an hour longer than usual this morning!

Woke up with a migraine.

The triptan worked today! (Much better than the one that only took the edge off yesterday’s headache.)

Even with the medicine working, I wouldn’t have been able to put together the level of concentration necessary to debug the trickiest part of my code.

Dealt with almost everything in my inbox. Put out some fires relating to interpersonal issues that some of our students are facing. Taught another student how to look at the history of a wiki page (including viewing which changes were done by which users). Started to implement a new policy/workflow that I’ve been speccing out for the past few weeks. Wrote a really nice question to be used in an email screen of job candidates for yet another one of our open positions. (WE ARE HIRING.)

Was so caught up in all of these issues that I ended up staying an extra half hour at work because I lost track of the time.

The smart cat is going to help me put together a few slides about string manipulations and regular exrpessions so that I can talk about them tomorrow. I will ignore her feline bias against

since even she agrees that having to includesep=""
in her favorite function is silly. -
The other cat is still not eating very much. Even though yesterday we bought her the supermarket cat food equivalent to Doritos.

Found a parking spot on the wrong side of the street so I will need to move my car before 7am tomorrow.
