I am back at the office, getting back to the usual grind of things following a couple of days off for Christmas. For those of you returning to their wage-earning labor, I hope the holiday was an enjoyable respite from the usual grind.
My walk into the office was an uneventful one, but the streets of downtown Baltimore were empty this morning. Dare I say, I am but one of the small number of saps working after the holiday today, let alone this week. The emptiness extends into the cube farm, as it is also a ghost town. The consultants that are usually in the office are working remote this week. Additionally, most of the full-time staff is away this week using their leave before the end of this year.
In my haste to get to the office this morning, I left my CrackBerry sitting on my counter at home. Given my email traffic is down considerably with everyone away for the holiday, this is not a terrible loss. I was, inexplicably, in a hurry to get out of the house and into the office this morning.
Since it is quiet this week compared to how it has been for the last two weeks, I am going to get some well-deserved technical reading in. Nothing like learning about Tripwire.

pigtown-design: The drinks had no effect on me, but I missed getting the sleep I was getting over the last couple of days.
j$: Indeed, it sucks being a workin’ stiff!
The ghost town feeling is mirrored at my office, customer parking lots, though not on 295. If you like the idea of Tripwire (but not the licensing), check out AIDE.
Alex: If I were not at a large corporate entity who already has Tripwire Enterprise, then I would check out AIDE. Since I am slavishly devoted to my corporate master, though, Tripwire is the tool of choice. Besides, my specific interest in Tripwire is mainly for file audits/file tracking.
This is my favorite week of the year to work. I am more productive the 3 days the office is open than I am for the next six months. The commute is a frikkin breeze as well.
