A Day of Dead Ends

_{Back to MainPage.  Back to MiscellaneousStuff.}

This morning I was fraught with frustration, foiled in all my forays.  Indeed, it was shaping up to be a day of dead ends.  Some days are fluid and feel free.  Others flow languidly, snaking ever onwards towards sunset.  But not today.  Today would be littered with enough minor obstacles to stop me ever getting up to speed.  Nothing important, and nothing urgent, just a deluge of minor setbacks.  So it goes.

Recently my workplace has adopted a filtering proxy, which likes to splash big red and banners around.  We seem to have blocked some subdomains of dell.com, which I could have used for assessing hardware purchases for our team.  Perhaps they'll lift the restriction for me.  And so it goes.

In fits and starts I modified our product, my productivity sinking like feet stuck in custard as I was held back by the shackles of miscommunication.  I'd like to run, not walk, on custard, as then I wouldn't sink: http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_4470000/newsid_4479100/4479150.stm  . And so it goes.

The hours rolled on and nothing got better, and nothing got worse.  The day closed without ceremony.  And so it went.
