Circadian Shift

The week got off to a fairly idyllic start, then took a shift about halfway through.

Monday and Tuesday were typical 'lifestyles-of-the-unemployed' days, with lots of puttering around and napping.

On Wednesday morning the phone rang. The company whom I was recently contracting with needed me to come back and do some more work, so I was back in there -- and hence back into employment-time-and-space -- before noon. The next two weeks promise to be more of the same.

As for the weekend, Saturday was spent in the city, and it was hot humid. Then, yesterday "N" and I made a day trip up to Wasaga Beach, where it was... rainy and cold. It figures.

On the media consumption side, I went to go see Wedding Crashers. It's a reasonably enjoyable light comedy -- if you like Vince Vaughan or Owen Wilson in other comedies, you won't be disappointed here. Fun, but hardly a cinema classic.

I've also been trying to catch up on the huge backlog of work-related books I have, so this week's reading selection has been The Elements of User Experience. It's a short book (that's a good thing), and serves as a useful refresher, especially if you need to articulate to other people what the heck it is that you do.
