Radio Silence
Apr. 2nd, 2009 11:35 amMy Sissy, the Bookbabe, sent me an e-mail earlier giving me shit for not blogging lately. And no, I can't really bitch that much because I've done the same to her. Hell, I've called her out here on this blog before! So here I am with a post, although I can't guarantee it will be worth reading.
Seriously, after the killer cooties episode at the end of last week I've done pretty much nothing other than work and veg out. I finished Infoquake by David Louis Edelman, which I thoroughly enjoyed but have no intention of taking the time to review. I also finished A Poisoned Season by Tasha Alexander. Again, enjoyed very much, not going to review. I don't know what it is but I have no desire to do any book reviews right now. I just want to read for the enjoyment of reading. I don't want to have to think about anything.
Work has been work, as it always is these days. I'm happy to have a job and I'm enjoying some of the stuff I'm getting to do but for the most part there is nothing going on right now that fills me with excitement. The office politics have been even more pronounced since the RIF a few weeks ago. And I am not a political creature by any means. Sure, I can play the game. But I think its stupid and a waste of time/energy. I could say a whole lot more about the situation but I need this job so I'll shut up now.
The big highlight for me lately is that I've been learning C# .NET. In my spare time at work (Ha!) I've been going through my Head First book and doing the exercises. It is fun and, right now, the biggest challenge of anything I'm working on. Since I pick up new programming languages really fast that says a lot.
Outside of work there is, well, not much of anything. If it doesn't rain Saturday and has dried out enough I'll finally get to cut the grass. It really needs to be done. I'm going to have to set the mower at a higher level as it is. I can't imagine how bad it will be if I don't get it done this weekend! And I'm taking a couple of days off around Easter. We get Good Friday off as a holiday and I'm taking the following Monday and Tuesday. If the weather is nice I'll be working in the yard doing mulch and flowers, stuff like that. If the weather is not so nice I'll be inside hanging pictures and rearranging my office. I don't know if I'll be ready to paint it as I've yet to pick out a color I like (lots of paint chips that I liked in the store, didn't like when I got them home). I need to get that room set up so I can put a treadmill in there when I need to use my studio. I am going to get a treadmill, I swear! It will live in the studio most of the time but when I want to paint it will need to fold up and move out of the way. Same thing when Mom and Dad come to visit as the studio then becomes their bedroom.
If there was anything else on my mind its gone now. We now return to radio silence....at least until I have something worthwhile to say.
