I've been pounding myself silly since coming back to Germany. Things are so quiet at work that I could have stayed one more week on vacation and missed nothing. Should have stayed away then.
Another paradox is my inclination to glug coffee here at work. While I was in singapore, I stayed away from coffee. (starbucks is comparatively cheap there). Since coming back to work (where the "heated, coloured, flavoured dark liquid" is misappropriately named as coffee), I've been pouring tasteless coffee into my system like a russian on vodka binge.
My first day of work wasn't too good: despite having the best weather since ages, I stayed back to do some extra work.. and sadly, I overstayed. i.e. i actually forgot that I was supposed to get home earlier and instead, worked past 1900. Hopefully that is not the foreshadow of things to come.
I suspect that I may have to give up physically training for this week (ok.. at least for today). There is some nasty flu going around and I happened to be one of lucky receipents of this particular virus. In addition, I seemed to have some form of a tummy bug and its been ruining my day. In general, computer scientists need to have some attitude when tackling hard problems ("I'm here to solve bugs and chew gum, and I'm all out of gum") but in this case, the bug is making me da Attitude.
The upside is, of course, there are again some engaging and challenging tasks coming up. It does give life an interesting twist and promises some fun. This should be good.
