| a four-character fix. |
[Feb. 23rd, 2007|02:20 am] |
Today's work was... humbling. Jay showed me a four character fix (literally, four characters!) which simplified a whole batch of things. In short: ( dorkery. ) And thus the day was saved.
I drove in to work today, and we had a lunch meeting. I'll be taking over certain duties for Jim, as he has a new and exciting research job. Brian will be my immediate supervisor... sort of, I suppose. Mainly, I'll be taking over the part of Jim's job that involves talking with the customers and figuring out what it is they want--this job has taught me the importance of agreed-upon specifications.
This evening, my father and I went skiing, and for the first time this year, we brought Jeff up as well. Due to a number of delays, we ended up only making three runs before the place closed, but the snow was excellent, and the scenery was indescribably gorgeous. It had been snowing earlier, and the trees were limned in white. I hope very much that we'll get to go up there early on a weekend day, walk halfway up the mountain in snowshoes, and go skiing in the evening once our passes kick in.
Jeff was very, very talkative on the way up. Maybe he's been cooped up for too long; he's working the equivalent of at least two jobs at the moment, and Jere moved out of his house a while back, leaving just Tasha and the guy who nobody wants there but nobody wants to kick out. I'd go a little stir-crazy in that situation myself. And yet, on the way back, when I put on some power metal so I could get his opinion, he asked if it was Lacuna Coil, then passed out. Yes, he drifted off to the relaxing strains of DragonForce. Definitely, definitely overworked.
