This summer is, definitely, strange. There are days of pure sun and blue skies, but then they get drowned out by rain storm after rain storm that hits the city. I don't think we've gotten into the eighties very much so far - but then again we haven't put out the air conditioners, so perhaps that is for the best.
Work continues apace. We have released version 1.0 of our survey builder and player to be QA'd. We haven't released it to the (semi)-adoring public(co-workers) yet. But this application has been put through its paces before, so I expect a slow trickle of bugs that need to get fixed. The idea is that we'll have teams shadowing their survey projects in the system for the first month or so and then turn on the flood-gates. This is, really, pretty exciting - this is an application suite which I pitched the initial idea for in front of the executives back when we were still Genesee Survey Services. It is a major milestone both in this company and, possibly, in my career.
So naturally, I go into work each day and continue working on the features needed for version 1.1. Life works like that, I've found - any milestones that are crossed simply lead to another road to walk down. Which is pretty good - I'd hate to be completely done, what would be the fun in that.
My birthday is coming up in the next couple of weeks. So is jilliko 's. And the Ren Faire starts this weekend - I believe we're planning on bringing a fairly large contingent (4-5 people) out there on Saturday. We'll stay all day, then go home and collapse on the comfy, comfy couches.

And just because I feel like it and have been watching too much Gundam Seed Destiny, a QOTD:
"Life Goes On, passionately.
As long as I am alive,
Even if I were to lose sight of my real self
Life Goes On, I want to protect it."
