Got paged at 4am this morning because we apparently introduced a bug to the blogware project during a code promotion yesterday. It was a subtle thing (obviously not caught in our QA) but has a nasty little impact in certain cases. Whatever, it is in the pipeline for a quick fix. The point here is, I got up at 4am to figure things out and since I was awake I figured I would start my day instead of going back to bed.

I often work late at night because it's quiet -- No phones ringing or babies crying. I tend to get a lot more accomplished during this quiet time. But now that I'm getting a taste of the same quiet atmosphere in the early morning I'm wondering if I ought not quit early every night and get up extra early to do my work. A big difference is, at night it's dark and lonely (although my dog does hang out with me) while in the morning, as soon as the sun peeks out, the birds start chirping (you gotta love Spring time in the Conejo Valley!). It seems more peaceful now and since my biggest customer is on EST I can actually interact with them when they start their day. I think I might try this morning thang for a little while. Now if only I could get my entire team to follow suit.:)
