Sick Julie and I had an agreement worked out. I was going to work this week on Spring Live and hopefully finish off the last chapter for 1.0. My plan was to wake up at 6:00 a.m. every morning and work until 2 p.m.

Then I caught Abbie's cold (or maybe I got it from Dion via e-mail). That was Saturday. Jack caught it on Sunday. Julie doesn't have it yet, but the rest of us are sick and I've lost all motivation to work on anything. Sleep is my new best friend.

Damn, I was almost done with the WebWork version of AppFuse too. Tomorrow I have an interview, so I'll probably rally and take a bunch of DayQuil or something. Hopefully that'll inspire me to get back in the groove and get some work done. Posted in General at Sep 20 2004, 01:15:28 PM MDT 5 Comments

Been there -- done that ... I am working on a Struts Cookbook for O'Reilly and there are always things that get in the way of writing ... the best laid plans of mice and men ...

Yep, it sucks to live in the north. It is beginning to do the temperature swing routine in Michigan, and
    everyone
gets a cold. Hope it is short lived! As for the writing, the most writing I have ever done was my 14 page research paper. I am not sure how you manage to pull off a book!

Yeah, the temperature thing started in Denver today. High of 45 degrees (F) and snow expected down to 6000 feet!

Matt, how was the interview on Monday?

I think the interview went well - especially since I have a 2nd one tomorrow! This is one of my most interesting job hunts yet. Lots of opportunities, but everyone is a week or two out and I need to start next week before my bank account runs dry! ;-) (crosses fingers for Thursday interview)
