v28.6: Never Enough Time

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

It is Friday!  We have been blessed with yet another weekend and for some of us, a long weekend.  I am lucky enough to have the day off today as well as Monday so I have an extra long weekend ahead of me.

v28.5: Why Coffee?

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

I've had a couple readers ask me, "Why Musings over COFFEE?".  I don't know why I chose coffee over all the other things I enjoy in life; I guess it just made sense that I usually started every day with a cup of coffee and random thoughts in my head over a cigarette.  I no longer smoke, but I still enjoy that morning coffee.

v28.4: Thinking Aloud

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

Another day has started.  The world awoke to find the world is still spinning, the oceans are still moving we still have oxygen to breathe.  There are many things we should be thankful for every single day we are here and some of them we take for granted.

v28.3: D-Day

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

No, I didn't invent a time machine and take us back to June 6th.  Today is D-Day for me here at work where the last 6 months of development, bug fixes and testing all come together to form Voltron!  Am I ready?  Mentally I am prepared to get my ass kicked.  The product is mostly ready but I fear by the end of the day it still won't be production.  It has been nice working with you all.

v28.2: The Endings

Morning folks,

-slurp-

Don't be alarmed, I am not ending Musings over Coffee.  I was rereading a few of my musings and found that there was a time when I would end each musing with a witty piece of advice or pure randomness.  After chatting with a friend at work about it, he agreed that I should dedicate an entire musing to the "Endings" of all my previous musings.  Some are a good laugh so grab a coffee, sit back and enjoy the ride.

v28.1: Thursday Trials

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

Thursday is finally here and my week of testing is going well.  As expected, I have a new one for you today and I'm looking forward to tomorrow's Musing as I have been working on it all week.  Think of it as a reward for all your hard work this week diving in my site and finding the posts.

v28.0: Weird Wednesday

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

I was seriously side tracked this morning when I got into the office.  I had a few minutes to write down some quick thoughts so here I am.

v27.9: Rollercoaster Ride

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

I am work ing from home today.  I had a meeting scheduled for 6AM Eastern so instead of getting up at 5AM and driving into the office I decided to stay home.  Isn't technology grand?  I have the ability to do my job from virtually anywhere in the world; how times have changed.

v27.8: A Week of Testing

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

We are in the final week of testing for the project I have been leading since February.  This was a huge undertaking for me and a massive learning curve but things are starting to look like they may fall together quite nicely.

v27.7: TSFIHF

Morning folks,

-slurp-

Acronyms are a funny thing.  I find it interesting especially when you start to study acronyms and find out that these things have a history of causing confusion.  For example, the title of my Musing this morning has a very clever acronym that I made up.  Of course this acronym only means something to me and isn't even related to my musing so what could it mean?

v27.6: Picture is worth 1,000 words

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

If a picture is worth 1,000 words then there are probably hundreds of thousands of words about my weekend out on the internet somewhere.

v27.5: Making Ends Meet

Morning folks,

-slurp-

I'm sure many of us struggle with making ends meet; especially these days.  Now more than ever people need to be mindful of their finances and start living within their means.  Unfortunately most of us have grown accustomed to our lifestyle and immediatly shut off our listening ears when someone tries to talk sense.  I am not exempt from this.

v27.4: Post Vacation Blues

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

Just finished dropping off my car at the dealership for my regular Motor Vehicle Inspection which was due last week.  I drive a 2008 car with low mileage yet they insist to do the money grab and make me come back a year later to get it inspected to make sure it is still safe for the road.  Thankfully this safety inspection is good for 2 years now and not the traditional 1 year so I won't have to worry about the thing until July 2011.
