Sometimes the stars seem to align in a way that you didn't expect. I got seven hours of hardcore sleep. Traffic was pretty smooth, weather was nice. My current project at work is going next month so that lifts some pressure. It really sets a nice tone for the week.
It was like this pleasant series of events that changed my mood entirely. Funny how you beat yourself up over letting things outside of your control get to you, but then when those same things can totally lift you up, you welcome them.
Jeff, this is totally off-topic, but check out http://www.ultimateears.com/_ultimateears/community/artisttowatch/jonathan_coulton.php, and hit the "listen now" button. His track "Code Monkey" is just awesome, and I think you'd dig the humor.
