As I was leaving work yesterday my boss and I were griping about the seeming incompetency of a project we pay a lot of money to each year. They can't seem to build anything in any reasonable amount of time, what does get built is full of errors they can't explain, data "disappears", and then, yesterday, the whole project was down. Just down.

We pay the equivalent of a yearly salary each year to this project. My boss says, "It's probably time we build our own." That was music to my ears. On the drive home yesterday I was trying to figure out how I could build the project, and then license it back to the district and other districts. It would almost have to be them paying me out of a contract to build the system as a freelancer and then giving them a reduced licensing rate there after.

What this does though, is make me wonder why I didn't get my butt in gear six years ago. If I had put together the system I dreamed of then, I would be that much further ahead.

I used organizational time to clean out the book shelf in the living room. This particular book shelf is mostly cookbooks. So I spent a little time deciding which could stay and which could go. In the I removed 2/4 cocktail books, 1/2 sushi books, 2/3 crockpot books, and so on.... There are still a lot of vegetarian cookbooks, I didn't even touch those. Next is to go through the two huge drawers full of books in my closet. I have a feeling that many of those are going to stay, but we'll see.
