i spoke at length with my boss tonight. i’ve had quite a bit of kernel envy for some time and eventually it got to the point where i felt pigeon-holed, so i wanted to talk about a way out. he made me think about valuing my “soft-skills”, my management skills, and reminded me that there are plenty of hard problems to solve in the area i’m in.
i enjoyed the thanksgiving holiday so much that i’m suffering a bit of the blues. my temper is a little short, i’m impatient and crabby, and i’m ready for the next set of holidays. i gotta buck up though, this is crunch time.
i woke up this morning and felt a little tired. i thought of exercise and convinced myself that since it was mid-week, i could put it off. i reset the alarm in haste (because i needed to fall back asleep before i reconsidered) and then i wasn’t sure whether i had set the time forward or the alarm. i wasn’t really able to fall back to sleep solidly, as i began to wonder about whether i would be late for work and that it was lame i had to be at work at a specific time.
i had three braeburn apples which had become too ripe and soft to eat, so i just made some apple sauce. it is yummy! it feels good to make something like apple sauce.
i have about 5 hours left to accomplish quite a few things on my todo list.. and i’m thinking that the list has suddenly turned into a weekend list instead of a Saturday list. ;) right before i went to bed last night i had a sudden inspiration about what was wrong with my particle filter and got it fixed up. i spent quite an hour or two preparing some curry – which should be enough to last for quite a few meals.
