is just Truth. What should I do in this case to best deliver value to the company, fly to SF and hand Github a ringbound volume of my changeset? Patch our corporate network so we can interface to Github via RFC 1149?
More "professional" ideas:
- read a book; a novel or TAOCP for nerdmaxxing
- play a game on your phone
- learn to draw. Draw hands!
