Strange day today. I broke out of my "sit at the desk and read/write" rut. Took the day and went to San Jose to visit a client. In spite of the 5am-7pm travel day, I enjoyed the stimulation of some new people and places.
I'm very anxious to wrap up the project for The Firm and get started on the intranet project. I like the project's goals and subject matter, and I think I'll like the client. The current project is simply boring me to death, and dealing with the people and processes from The Firm is bringing back lots of memories - not good ones. In the immortal words of Monty Python, "Run away.....!".
The airplane time was actually good. I got some thinking done - there's something about that setting that brings out the creative impulse. I suppose after all these years I've learned to think happy thoughts while hemmed in by sweaty fellow travelers. Good survival skill.
