A Day in the Life ... then and now.
Today while I was tinkering with my Microsoft Outlook calendar, I stumbled upon a few days in 2004 when I recorded everything I did during the day in my calendar. Normally, I didn't record everything and my calendar was usually empty aside from one or two meetings. But at that time Rob, my boss back then, asked us be more careful about documenting time for the purposes of billing. There is quite a contrast between my day in 2004 and 2009.
