Eat

I went to kinkos and made copies of the flyer for that upcoming show with Eugene Chadbourne at Sounds good on the 16th! Dropped a couple off (at Shangri La last night 'cuz their board is outside and up in Goner's window after work today). Work was a day of much free food. There was a little breakfast thing in the morning and then my manager took my team to lunch for meeting our objectives early. We ate at Huey's so I chomped on some nachos. They officially announced to my team this morning about how we're being split up (not in a bad way, just we've completed our objective and now there's new stuff to be done). It's not being announced to the whole department yet though. It looks like starting off I'm going to be the only developer doing the new salesforce stuff. Kind of exciting and all that. Later today I had an issue I was spinning my wheels on, really having an existential crisis and not understanding what was going on and thinking maybe I wasn't understanding rxjs and mergeMap and forkJoin as well as I'd thought. Well, after a couple hours of troubleshooting, turns out there was just a dumb line copied in two places when it should have only been in one of them (probably an intended cut-and-paste that was an actual copy-paste...classic copy-pasta anyway). It was basically a case of "let someArray = [];" and it inside a loop as well as outside (so in the loop, things got pushed onto it and then wiped out next iteration). Classic dumb kinda mistake that you've both annoyed and relieved when you finally discover (annoyed that it was something so dumb, but relieved because you're not quite as dumb as you're thinking you might be, only you just didn't see this thing). After work I came home to a few Creel Pone cds in the mail (the remains of my compilation/rewards earnings): Jan Beran: Aniseikonia Zeitsplitter 4 Etüden, William S. Fischer: Omen, and Philippe Doray les Asociaux Associes: Ramasse-Miettes. Plumber came over and fixed some things this afternoon as well. Seems like there might be some things he didn't fix, but we'll see. Oh! and I almost forgot! My alarm clock is randomly set to the radio and I've never awoke to good music, it's often between stations or whatever, but this morning it was picking up wevl when it went off and I got to wake up to "Credit in the Straight World" by Young Marble Giants. That was a nice surprise. I was driven to awakeneness by shock more than anything.
