cat saying 'i can't believe they fired me; it was casual day, and you can't get more casual than naked'Friday! Everyone usually looks forward to that day. Work was reasonably ordinary; spent a lot of it trying to deal with making machines do the right thing after hideous and sundry networking failures. That didn’t go quite as well as I’d hoped—it looks like manual intervention of some sort will be required even in a simple test case. Sigh.

After work, there was a get-together at a nearby pub because Jamel’s leaving the company next week. Stephanie and I went for a while, had dinner there, and saw some of the other folks.
