I have a goal of finishing reports by tuesday every week, today there was a lot of indicators that i had to deal with, including some of my own i wrote, that all showed that malware was present on a customer. I thought i wasn't going to finish more than that one customer this monday, but i worked through the indicators methodically and prioritized the important ones and got half of the customers done, like i usually do.
If i finish early, i can spend the rest of the week doing security research, automate to speed things up or do programming projects so there is an incentive there to get as much "playtime" as possible at work.
