Beat my head against a particularly tricky query until late at night. Went to bed hoping that some new idea would occur to me in the morning. This morning's new idea: I should work on something else today. :D

Assigned myself a task that's due in a year. Bets on whether I'll remember what it's about even though I included a TON of detail?

Every morning I log into a program called Toad (a database management tool for Oracle databases), and it ribbits at me. Loudly. And I suppress a giggle. And then I proceed with my work.

You wouldn't think the upcoming 6th anniversary of a pet cat's death would still catch me off guard. But there you have it. Pippin was a very important part of my early adult life.
