Back in the whatever again
Jan. 4th, 2005 04:06 pmTwo weeks off, plus holidays, plus lots of alone time and time with my honey? A wonderful thing. Getting back to work is tough, though.
It looks like I'm going to be going full steam ahead with the maintenance programming thing, which I'm relatively happy with. I'm still a little hesitant about the role, but I feel useful and smart doing it, so that's good. Today I'm not working on the pocketPC application at all, actually - after a four hour "back to work" meeting and bullshit session this morning, we went to lunch, and now I'm working on testing and refining some SQL queries which are in a perl script to do Nifty Things (tm) and help The Right People (i.e. not us) do data management. I like it. We've moved into a new office at work, and I have hopes that we can get the network in a more useful state and I'll be spending more time in the office.
In other news, I hurt my wrist just before the New Year, and it's super painful, and so I think I'd best save most of my typing for work related things. I am reading my email (most happily) but (as usual) I'm horrible about getting back, especially as my hand hurts like crazy. I'm trying to catch up with everyone's journals and such, but I fear that I'm a slack ass and haven't been doing such a hot job of it.
I wore my +20 Shirt of Smiting yesterday and people blinked at me as if I had three heads and was wearing a purple toupee on each of them. Le sigh. I still think it's super geeky cute. Nyah to all the infidels. I'll get them yet.
We cooked some chicken in the slow cooker the other night - just tossed it in with a can of cream of mushroom soup, a can of cream of chicken soup, a little milk, and some mushrooms - and it was very yummalicious. Also, in a completely unrelated note, I fear I will never get caught up watching all the zillions of DVDs we now own. And yet I yearn for more. ~smacks self on head~ Bad little materialist. Heh.
And now my wrist is telling me "stop typing or you'll get nothing done in the little while you have to get things done" and so I shall. More later. Really. Maybe just not soon later.
