It is Sunday, and Ellen and I have lived in our new apartment for a week. It feels like we have lived there longer already, I was surprised to realise this was our first real weekend staying there. Things are finding their places, and if our luck holds we will be getting broadband again in two days.
(Really big if, that one.)
I am writing this from work, sitting in silence and semi-darkness with rain running down the windows (only on the outside, fortunately). On the way here I started making connections between agile software development and the way I have approached our unpacking in the apartment.
Yes, I am damaged.
Anyway, I have been trying to get things as unpacked as possible, without too much concern where I put things at first. It makes the place feel more homely, gets the boxes away, and once things look more normal it is easier to start living normally and find out where things really ought to be put.
We have a working environment the whole time, and can improve it gradually by making small, controlled changes when the need arises.
Ahem.
I cannot help but wonder if I would have acted differently if I had not been exposed to agile thinking.
In any case, the thoughts made me smile, and that is worth something on its own.
(As for the lack of quotes and apostrophes in this entry; it seems my webhost has changed something, throwing my quote-escaping routines off balance again. I figure I can put up with it until I get connected back home again. Now for some lunch ...)
