The day went like this:

• Think about writing some kind of manager to install/update vim plugins.
• Writing a small python program to fetch a file, and use the name suggested by the server, just like browsers do.
• Ponder if somebody else wrote something similar for managing vim plugins. There are at least three other packages that provide a similar functionality.
• Grab one of those packages, try to read it, to see if it is possible to add support for updating vim scripts. It is perl. Yuk!
• Look for the perl documentation for qw, *VAR, use, require, shift...
• Look for a perl book. Curse sigils.
• Write example scripts as I read the book. Curse each tested feature in the commit messages of them.
• Read the book section about comparisons, and the difference between string and numeric comparisons. More cursing. Ponder if strings get "numified" and/or vice versa. Curses, more curses.
• Try to write a vim script that generates a perl script that tests and shows the results of comparison operations between strings and numbers.
• Look for a vim plugin to have scratch buffers for writing use-and-throw vim scripts.
• Blog about the unfinished calls in the process of the day.

that dog has a fuzzy tail!

(Overlord drops in the cubicle nest...)

Overlord: "Good day, commander"

Drone: From now on, whenever you throw me one of those shitty I-need-it-for-yesterday tasks you always assign me, I'll answer you: "take it slow"

Overlord: To which I will answer: "make it happen"

this might help with the translation, if you're not ikks (or, maybe, arhuaco).
