Finally!
I won't delude myself to think that people actually care about me not updating my blog in a long time. But I do have good excuses (yes -- excuses.)
Work has FINALLY started into the August slow down. I've actually been able to catch up on all the stuff I should have been doing the last 5 months -- but hasn't been critical/"on fire" so it hasn't gotten done. It's nice to be able to clean up stuff and finally get it finished. I'm starting to not hate work again. When the stress decreases by spades it so much easier to like going to work. On one hand it's really nice to have a few slower days -- but I hope it doesn't continue for long. It's hard for me to try to accomplish anything when you're so used to only dealing with fires. When nothing is on fire I don't do anything -- including the stuff that's there -- but just not critical yet.
Yesterday was also an earmarked? day -- I've now been working for a full year; both at my company and working in the "real world." Not that exciting. Though I did get a despair.com style framed picture. Pessimisum: Every dark cloud has a silver lining, but lightening kills hundreds of people each year who are trying to find it. I am also now partially vested in my stock options -- not that it's very exciting because they aren't really worth anything (yet.) Hopefully some day they will be useful.
Most of my free time lately has been spent planning for my trip to Paris (in less than 2 weeks!) I can't wait!!! I just want a vacation. Having a slow down is hard to deal with because there is so little to do all I want to do is go already -- there's nothing to keep me distracted.
