The best thing that happened on Thursday is that I listened to an audiobook on my way to work. The fact that it was an audiobook about killing writer’s block is ironic, given the fact that I did not post The Besst from Thursday on Friday morning.

However, it was not writer’s block that prevented me from posting on Friday morning. The reason I couldn’t is that I had to leave the house at 5:30 am for work (a fact that is not going to be listed as The Besst, letmetellyouinterwebz) so I could finish prepping for, and then host, a 7:00 am conference call, and it was hard enough to get up for that, much less the extra fifteen minutes I would have needed for this.

The Besst for Friday is two-fold:

– that huge, complicated enterprise application we’re installing is almost calculating completely correctly. We’re something like 0.0004% off, and while that variance, small as it is, is intolerable (this thing calculates pay), we’re pretty sure that the variances are explained by items we have already fixed and that the next recalculation will demonstrate that.

– I may have finally conquered the Emperor level on Civilization Revolution, as evidenced by the graphic. I’m Abby Patrick in that thing, and note how I have totally pwn’d the histograph. Next stop: last level, aka Deity. I’m currently playing the easiest scenario in that level and smoking it. Sam is teaching me how to be more bloodthirsty, which is gonna take a while.
