Bugsqashathon [Thursday 24]

Got up wayy to early because I had to use the restroom, had trouble going back to sleep. Got up, did the chores, ate the fruits and got ready for the work. I was feeling a little low energy level, either due to low blood glucose, lack of sleep or a combination of both, regardless, at least I've honed it down to exact variables and I can work to mitigate them whenever I want.

Took the Orange line to work because why not, I did want to be to work early because our product launch is nearing and I didn't want to take a chance. Got into one of those nice fancy Orange line trains, so much standing space, I could have almost danced! I'm excited for more of those to be phased in as I suspect that'll lead to less crowded trains in the short term. Didn't want to take the Green line because the wait was too long so stayed in the train until Downtown Crossing, where I got off. My plan was to walk over to Park St, and take the Green Line from there, I'd get a bit of a walk but still make it to work reasonably quick without depending on the North Station. Saw my coworker KB at Park St who walks to work every day, walked with her to work which was a nice 10-minute conversation about everything including Singapore. She spent six months there last year, so I had some catching-up to do.

At work, we were in for an 11-hour bugathon in our 'war-room', where we sat in the same room all day long, debugging and testing our product, breaking it and fixing it, getting it all ready for the deployment to production. Had a couple of pieces of fruits and chickpea pasta. There's this company that sells chickpea pasta and Mac and cheese and oh boy are their products really great! With pesto and  lot of olive oil, oof so good!

The breaking-and-fixing went on until 8 when we ordered dinner from a steak place. I ordered tofu, and mac and cheese, and texas toast as sides. When it came, I turned it into a giant sandwich, with tofu and mac&cheese in inside, with hot sauce to give it the flavor. My guess was that it wasn't going to be enough and 15  bucks for four slices of tofu was a rip-off but it was surprisingly great, was quite satisfied. Even though someone else ate the buttercake I'd ordered, but no matter.

I also earned some unexpected respect from coworkers after I had a large slice of pizza that was in the lobby after eating everything else and complaining how full I was. My justification was that I had been mentally prepared for some extra calories in the form of buttercake and if I was losing that might as well make for it with the pizza slice. Left work at about 8.30-ish, Green line to Park St and Park St to Davis in the Red Line. Stood on the train with coworkers GF and S, so didn't get to write the 'return' post. Who knows, if I'd written that, I may have written these posts too.

Anyway, got to Davis, took the 89, walked for 8 minutes back home, said hi too roommates BB and PK, and went to room to unwind. Fell asleep instantly, got up at 1200am, shifted to proper sleeping situation after changing, and that was it!

What a day, what a day!
