Snow. VPN Tunnels. Family.
It snowed a lot last night. I woke up today to the sound of children yelling, laughing and otherwise having a good time. The schools were closed and they were outside playing in the snow. Because of the snow the office was closed. I took the opportunity to enjoy a "casual Tuesday".
For several years now I've had a broadband connection to the Internet at home. This has given me the chance to see what the Internet can be like at decent speeds. It also has given me the chance to work from home when I have to, thanks to VPN clients. I spent a good part of the day working from the computer in my bedroom using a broadband connection.
It was a little slower than working directly at work, but not too much slower. Without the drive-by meetings I managed to get a decent amount of work done too, although not quite as much as I wanted. Even so, there's a good chance that all of my projects at work will come in on time this week.
Tonight, after my incredibly long commute home from the office upstairs I enjoyed a hot meal that my wife cooked for us from scratch. I've never exactly mastered the ingredients list for scratch, but one of them must be magical because Betty never fails to cook a wonderful meal when she does this. Tonight we had spaghetti with homemade sauce and meatballs.
While we were eating, we sat down to watch a movie on DVD. Tonight we watched Annapolis. It was a pretty decent movie, but it was fun to sit and watch it together too.
Snow. VPN Tunnels. Family. Three things that helped to make my day today a good one.
