Preface I'm intending to turn this into a series of short, humorous posts others can get a chuckle out of. This first one isn't really ...

Haha, it happens, man :) Especially if you don't have habit to drink on New Year's Eve, the day after could look like a normal working day. I also do not drink, so I was normally working today, but only on my open-source project.

Sharp observation. Yeah, I don't drink either. I just prefer to think clearly and don't like the idea of being addicted to stuff.

I'm also going to be working on my own project today for a bit.

What're you working on btw? Is it this one?

No, ironically now it's in my private repo (it will be definitely made public in the future!), but for now I have to complete as soon as possible it in order to send it to my future employer as proof that I'm a suitable person for the position he offers me.

lol I actually avoided naming this "Daily Derps" or something like that on purpose. Time is pretty short for me during the week usually.

I do intend to do more of these though. It's fun to write short stories like these.

Not really. I kind of put that part out of order. I made it about 30 minutes into being there and drank it all just before leaving.

It's happened to me a few times but luckily I ask a coworker a day before just to make sure. lol. At my previous employer I wasn't used to getting some days off.
