Unlike some of my eastern brethren that had a day off, I started what will be the first 5 consecutive work days in a long while. (Now not all of the eastern folks had the day off. Those that have alternative transportation modes that continue to operate, have continued to earn their wages.)
And I really did work 5 days last week, but they were not all full days.
I have found I am happiest when I am into a project and moving it forward. I get disgruntled when I am floundering around, not making progress. It is ok to flounder for a bit trying different data queries. I don’t consider that floundering. It is simply education.
Today was a generally good work day. Hopefully this will become a trend.
