Day 288: October 15, 2015
Diary entry:
I had a weirdly productive day today.
Originally my plan was to be in an all-day workshop for project three, but since there were 25 people invited to a 15 person meeting room, I was deinvited at the last minute, which I was actually not too upset about. I had left my meeting conflicts in my agenda, and managed to attend most of those still, but had some open spots left over which I was able to use for really productive catch-up work.
The Beer:
