I spent all... goddamn... day... debugging one single problem. I got so frustrated with it that I ended up sending the properly-built jar to the wrong server, to the wrong path; I did everything possible wrong, and it had the effect of stretching it out into a full day's work, just to fix a rather embarrassingly simple problem. I think I'd have done better if the work week had ended a bit earlier.
In the evening, Carin and I went out with my folks, plus Jeff and Tasha, to buffet. We ended up at a large, round table, and it worked out reasonably well. I still prefer being able to talk to everyone in a booth, but it was even better to have Jeff there. I took the opportunity to ask my father another one of those essay questions I have for him every so often: "why are people poor?". I'd been reading about poverty, and it had been gnawing at me. Inequality was cited, but that in and of itself explains why some people are rich, which is a related but separate problem.
