flexagon"Software it shall remain, then. I pretty much knew that when we fell all the laws of physics were unstable and the buying of the living room green and orange. I'm really, really not sure we're going to buy chives, so we'll have to say it out of hope rather than sound financial reasoning." That last sentence makes such perfect sense! And makes me laugh a lot too. :)
On national news, doh... some poor schmuck set up a rape fantasy tryst and broke into the wrong apartment. Yikes. But my news reading also told me that Representative Paul Loscocco is pushing a bill to abolish marriage in MA entirely and establish civil unions for both straight and gay people. How stunningly reasonable and sane. That's exactly what I would most strongly support.
Like rattie, I'm being bounced around at work again. My last project was to slap something together in 10 days (yes, days, not business days) for a demo. That sort of sucked but was sort of fun, too, and brought some humorous glory along with it. Now I've had 1.5 days on my old project and am being bounced off to help with a different one on Monday. Why? Because I'm a pinch-hitter. It's almost in my title at this point. And I have to confess that as long as I don't form too many personal ties to the projects I get bounced from, I sometimes work better in small bursts like that. However, I worry that skills like design, Javadoc generation, unit testing, and so forth are being neglected and are lagging behind what a lot of other people here have. I'll have to maybe work harder to fit some of that in. Still, I've noticed many times that I often am more motivated/productive when doing a lot of little jobs than one big one, and being bounced around does keep my brain alert. So I'm not complaining.
And lastly... my dad just emailed me and says he's "dating a lady." Whooo.... bada-ching! :) That and the prospect of shoe shopping tomorrow are today's bright little glitters of aluminum foil. Always good to have those. After much mental debate lately, I've decided I really am a "devil's in the details" person when it comes to a lot of things... no, relationships not among them. But the average day, yes, made and sometimes crushed by the little things, and that's going to have to be okay.
