How to tell it's not a good day: couldn't fall asleep, couldn't wake up, forgot to take half of the trash outside for pickup day today, main web server inaccessible this morning due to provider hardware glitch, article subject somewhat unhappy about certain changes in article during copyediting last week, other people in company unhappy with article subject is unhappy, 80% done with book project due in a week, had to make a business phone call today, trying to talk to two companies comparing mortgages, can't seem to accomplish very much at all, dull ache in my left wrist.
What almost makes up for everything: a second Presents Truck just arrived, delivering copies of BSD Hacks. Ahh, some of the pain of editing that book has vanished by seeing it in print. (It wasn't particularly painful, but I don't find book editing completely natural yet.)
