2017 - Week 2 Cooking

So you start the first week of the year, sick, you loose 15 pounds through your bum (I've gained back 5 of that).  You go to the doctor, you get tested for c.diff, you get scared cause you read about c.diff, it turns out you don't have c.diff.  Clear diet, mild diet, normal diet.  Probiotics just in case (not that I necessarily believe they work).  Needless to say, the poop storm that I called earlier, became a literal one.  Shannon has been amazing in taking care of me, and generally dealing with this disgusting situation.

On the other hand, working from home Tuesday through Friday, I figured out that yes indeed I could work from home, I was always concerned that I'd get to distracted by the things around me.  The things that are nice is that when I take my mental thinking breaks (stare out the window from my cube over the city of Des Moines), it's a lot better when I have a cat on my lap and able to look out my basement window at the duplex next door as smoke comes out of the furnace chimney.  It was being toyed with by the wind of the day.  Way more relaxing then the work view (probably doesn't hurt that I'm at home).  the negative side, swapping between a PC laptop (using for development...well to remote to my tower at work for development) and a mac laptop (using for email, chat, etc) is a bit more confusing.  Mainly the key combinations and finger configurations to do so which are slightly different.  Also it doesn't hurt that I got to wear pajamas for a week +.  On the other side of that I do think that having the multi-screen tower is way more efficient then not having it.  Also, by comparison, you can tell the speed difference.  It's kind of obnoxious at times.  Try to explain the justification for that though...anyways.
