Y7 D296

I don't know how people do a commute every day. Yesterday was awful for me. I left the house at 6:20am and didn't get home until 5:45pm. The ride in was horrible. Squished in a tin can like sardines on their way to the store. Hot, crowded, smelly. Got to the client around 7:30, had to wait until someone got there at 8 to let me in, then I worked straight from 8:30 to 4:30 with no breaks at all. I wanted to get things done. Turns out the client and I have different opinions on what "done" is. I was trying to minimize the amount of time I need on site with them, and he misinterpreted that as me saying I was done completely. I was done with what I wanted to do onsite. But that led to a string of emails last night where it went back and forth as to whether I would be going back today. In the end my boss and I decided one of his requests was not out of line so I am going back in this morning to address that, then sit there for a while to see if he wants any other specific changes. I don't expect to be there all day, but who knows.

Being in their office is no picnic either. I was shoved into a random office with a lousy chair and the world's worst guest network. I couldn't check any of my own emails all day.

When I got home I was so tired but had to play nice with B, eat dinner, read emails, deal with the back and forth emails, and iron another shirt for today. Such fun. I collapsed around 10:30 and went to bed.

I don't know what to expect today. I might get turned away at the doors for all I know. Whatever. I will do my best.
