Ruby on Rails is too much fun. I got carried away and spent Saturday working on it. That was a decent way to spend a rainy Saturday, particularly as I got as far as I could get in my sewing project. Tracking my time and noticing how much I’m over my targets does make me ask, though: where is that time coming from? What could I focus the extra time on instead? Can I be more awesome at work with just the target amount of time? Yes, probably, and more safely too – less risk of negative productivity.
Friday was a holiday, so I spent the day sewing. I finished most of my red dress, and I might sew the hem in today or tomorrow. I also worked on simple gifts for my sister and for W-’s friend Dan. I think I’m starting to get the hang of sewing – hooray!
