I just found out that this big evil project that’s been the bane of my existence since August is clearing QA today. It means I’m done, done, done for a while. No more bugs to fix. YES!!

Because I was starving this morning, I gave the cafeteria’s homefries yet another chance. Usually, they’re underdone. This morning was noooo different. The omelette was great, as usual. The potatoes were half done. Guys, come on, it’s crunchy on the outside, soft and comforting on the outside, not the other way around.

A few bits of news from the home front:

1. My brother and dad got back from Battlebots a couple days ago and regaled us with lots of cool stories about geeks and their remote-controlled mayhem machines. I think I’ll enter a lightweight next time or the time after it. I’m still working on names (which really is the most important part of the whole process). My brother’s bot has a great name: Hazardous Waste of Time. You’d be able to see it on TV, but his battery cable snapped in his first fight, so he’ll only ever show up in crowd shots. Next time!!
2. My super-cool project at work is going really well. I’m almost done with what I can do at the moment, and so far it all works beautifully. I love feeling smart!
3. I still hate Virginia state government. I’ll go into the whole sad, sordid tale when I get it resolved.
4. I brokered a deal so I can carry over all my leftover vacation time. This means I’ll have beaucoup vacation time to use up next year. I’m thinking a month in Hawaii.
5. My right wrist hurts from writing miles of Tcl and documentation. I need a nap.
6. Can you tell that I like HTML lists?

Oh, and I spent my dollar. I don’t think I should wax poetic about money.

I have a single dollar bill in my wallet. That’s it. It’s lonely. It’s been the only cash in my wallet for 5 days now. I think about getting a soda or a bagel and then change my mind. Is it because my wallet would then be empty, or because I want to hold on to this dollar for as long as I can? Why don’t I just go to the ATM and get some 20’s to share space with my single Mr. Washington?

Instead of paying bills like a good little consumer, I’m going to start the redesign. Any last-minute requests? Hahahahaha, you don’t get to tell me what to do!! I’m not at work! I get to do WHATEVER I WANT!!! Woo-hoo!

Work is really busy, so sorry if you’re expecting new content. I did manage to take pictures of my old Little People for the redesign, which I’ll hopefully get time to work on this week sometime. Should be funny…

Blogger ate my post. It was a good one too, all about stuff I don’t want to talk about and the crap I watched on TV this weekend. You’ll just have to imagine my witticisms, as I’m not going to retype them. Why? I’m a selfish jerk. Yup, I am. I admit it.

DAMMIT!!! Thank you. I feel better. I hate waiting on people. I’m tired of doing my job well, and then getting stuck because someone can’t finish their crap on time. And of course, when they’re late, I don’t get any more time. Their lateness gives me the shaft because now I have less time to do my part. AUGH! Why can’t everyone be me?

This moment of self-pity brought to you by Tums and Dr. Pepper.

I’m so angry. Nothing to say that I won’t regret later.
