So my day actually ended up getting better. My afternoon meeting lasted a whole of 15 minutes and I managed to get some really good work done, for which I'm happy. I'm actually getting to play with databases and code, so that's good. I got to pet a nice big drooly dog, which is also good, and we finally got our LCD screens for our computers, which is really good, cause that means I won't need to strain my eyes so much to get enough screen real-estate to work efficiently.
Hopefully the night will continue in that direction.
