I think it's funny that I'll come home from work and when asked "What happened at work today?" I'll answer "nothing", but then tell a few stories about what happened at work later on in the night as other things remind me of them.
I’ve usually got a long list of things I either want to delete, or I have excitedly finally gotten to delete.
Deleting other people’s shitty code is my favourite thing. The guy before me left a lot of code to delete.
Bro it's like the silence that ensues when people ask you about your hobbies
You know, things and stuff.
In my free time I like to breathe and sometimes eat thank you very much.
Oh yeah! I fucking love eating!
Especially the bit when you chew the food and it has a ton of different flavours! That bit's my favourite
I used to work a job wherein I had to record a log of my daily activities, but they took me all around the place and the log wasn't a physical item so I couldn't really write down everything as it happened.
Often I would struggle to remember enough even to populate the five daily entries we were expected to fill out.
Once I shamefacedly brought this up to the "rock star" of the team who was held to lower standards, reporting wise, because he got results. I was greatly gratified when he said that sometimes he just logged "I don't remember" for some activities.
i had to know the right questions to ask my wife because we both do the same thing. "which student threw up today" or "who got in a fight with who" tend to elicit the right memories from her workday. we haven't figured out the right ones from mine yet.
