Wednesdays around here are known as Workaholic Wednesdays. Management brings in dinner. People stay late, there's no meetings, and everyone just bangs away at work. I try to stay off of IM and email, close my office door, and use the time to really focus.
It's become one of my regular Workaholic Wednesday habits to fresh dogfood. Dogfood refers to our daily builds of our software. Since my job doesn't directly involve testing the software on a daily basis, I sometimes forget to download the latest-and-greatest. So I make sure that I update my builds on Wednesdays, and submit whatever bugs I come across.
Right. Dinner's here. After that, I'll get back to work on the personas for Office 2008+1.
office 2008+1 ?????
That means, it will be released in 2009 only?????
hehehehehehe...
I like your blog.
take care.

I would eat dogfood just for the chance to work on Office 2008+1 :)
cax - Heh. It just gets tiresome explaining which version I'm working on, so that's my latest attempt at shorthand. Sadly, my crystal ball doesn't know when that version of Office will be released. I think that figuring out release dates is more of an art than a science, and I'm beginning to be convinced that it's a dark art at that.
Craig - Well, you could have that chance. We'll be ramping up hiring in MacBU after we release, so watch http://www.microsoft.com/careers/ for your chance to actually work on Office. We do have four positions open now, so you can apply now if they fit your career, but there will be more later. We don't do any work in the UK, so if you really want to work for us, a move would be in your future.
