"COB" day

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2012.05.17

Today our firm had what turned into a rather fun test day; everyone stayed home and attempted to work from there.

Things went swimmingly on the people side. Some glitches in the technology, but nothing that can't be overcome. It was a beautiful day for it, and I had a nice lunch with my family before launching back into it.

Given that we're a technology firm, and that we produce software, I think we should be doing it a lot more. Everyone should, really.

Maybe we'll be forced to, for that matter, as fuel prices continue to escalate.

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

—Sigmund Freud
