back to useful work.

white-cheeked crested gibbon
Finally, I'm back to doing something useful at work. I didn't actually get it finished, but at least I started on something useful. Jay was back in today, and he fixed the problem he'd had me working on, as though I'd never even worked on it. I'm back on the project Jim had me working on before, and I made considerable headway into it. There was much refactoring, and I got much done.

I may complain about the tasks put to me sometimes, but there is an undeniable feeling of being useful, at the very least. Also, time flies faster when you're working than when you're sitting around waiting for something to happen.

Carin went out to class tonight; I stayed in and really tried to work on something useful, but ended up getting sidetracked by a particular site full of Flash games, which I'm not going to link to out of utter shame at how brain-numbing it is. I sent the picture you see at right to the Wikimedia Commons, and it's illustrating at least one article. That's about the extent of my usefulness for this evening; I was going to do some distributed proofreading and maybe some other editing (never mind schoolwork!), but that was it.

No comments today. I've got static on my mind.

I feel you, man. (On the bright side - and I feel incredibly shallow that this is such a cheering force for me, but whatever - what a sweet-faced little gibbon! Am smitten.)

Don't feel shallow--I long struggled with my inexplicable feeling of peace and cheeriness brought on by small ceramic bear statues. Yes, it's true, I have a shelf full of small... ceramic... bear statues. I took a picture of one of them. I feel like a goober for being so taken with them, but there you have it. They are cute, though...
