Up awake, breakfast, computer on while feeding cats.

First thing, its just gone seven, I was not on for alerts for the night before, but time to check see what has been happening over night.
Alerts? Patterns in support mails? Hammer out a few replies before realising that time is getting away from me... no seriously, its much later now, cycling kit, hunting down stuff for bag to head in with.

Last Friday...

0600 Alarm sounds, swear, hit snooze a few times before getting up and falling into the shower.

06.30 Make sure all the cat food bowls are full and the water is fresh. Spend 10 minutes wrestling with said animal in an effort to get him to take his morning tablet. Rinse bites under the tap and spray with the Chlorhexidine spray I have by the sink for exactly that purpose.

As promised, here's a description of a day in the life of software developer. For reason of client confidentiality and so I don't get into trouble at work, some names have been changed, or just plain left out.
