Bad Moods and Balking Mounts
You know it’s That Sort of Morning when I’m writing a status report in Word… and I stare at it for a minute, confused, then grump about the fact that it’s not parenthesis matching for me. Yeah. Too much code, not enough… anything else this week. Sorry to the people who have made jokes or done things to cheer me up who have not met with the desired response - I’ve just completely not gotten it a couple of times. Right over my frizzy little head.
Overall it’s been pretty grumptastic for the last few days. Managed to shake the bad mood for pieces of Tuesday and Wednesday, but yesterday and today it has been back full swing, fueled by crap at work. My code was going along so swimmingly that I got tasked with merging all the old code from another project that we’re trying to re-use - oh christ, talk about a nightmare. Guh. I worked through several thousand errors over the course of a couple of days… you’d think getting it finished would make me feel accomplished, but really I was just drained. Came back to my code to discover that the database interaction classes I need still aren’t ready, and I’ll probably get to waste more time writing them myself. Gromble.
Man, one of my coworkers just called from the airport - he wanted to check and see if he had managed to check everything in before he left for vacation. The bastard is on his way out to seattle - I don’t think I’ve ever been so jealous *chuckles* Did I mention that Above & Beyond is playing out there in December? I’m seriously considering buying a ticket and going out there… if only work weren’t so killer right now *sigh* They’re also going to be in DC, though, which is significantly more feasible; anyone interested in flying up there with me? BT is also playing here in Atlanta in December… if anyone wants to go let me know. Otherwise I’ll probably skip it, as it will likely be a more live-ish rehash of the premier of This Binary Universe from a couple months back.
There, how was that for a bid to cheer up? On that same train - it’s almost the weekend! Getting a Wii Sunday! Next week is short! Going home to the fambly for thanksgiving!! Amazing how a few exclamation points can make my mood look so much better than it actually is.
I dreamed about horseback riding last night… the psius had taken over the house across the road and turned it into a stable, and in lieu of a ring were riding circles around the house, going up and down stairs and in and out of the street. I was pissed at them for treating the horses badly so I decided to get my teaching license so I could do lessons and fix things. The horse they put me on had a weird saddle (until I realized it was an iron tub unless you put your legs outside - then it was a normal saddle) and the girth was loose, and he balked whenever we had to go down the tiered garden.
Later in a piece of a dream I saw a video of myself dancing and was embarrassed because I looked really dumb. Also there was something about wearing my corset (and having my chest be oddly large?) for a party that Pynk and Atari and Alice were throwing. Have I mentioned that I’d like to go clubbing?
