whining and other stuff, sorry it's not more interesting
Ok, so work is just... blah. I wish I liked what I was doing, but I don't. I don't really feel all that motivated to do anything anymore. At least this week I sort of have an excuse in that most of the stuff I do requires talking to other people, and since I was sick, I was trying to avoid people, etc. I keep figuring I will pick a day and really buckle down and work a whole lot and feel better about myself, but it just hasn't been happening. I get things done, but they're little piddly things, not like the big projects people want me to get moving on. I dunno. It feels, a lot of the time, like people magically want me to get documentation done, but don't really want to spend the time with me explaining how things work or showing me things. Maybe this is just my delusion, and I'm just finding excuses for myself. I'm not sure.
I've been working on a Java version of Circuitry on the side, as I think I've mentioned. I realized today that it has a genuine search issue, and while I'm not sure of a super-efficient way to do it, I guess I'll probably just end up doing some sort of DFS. (It's hard to explain here, this is more of a mental note for myself).
I went to band even though I sort of felt like crap. My doctor's office basically said something like "Oh, your virus is going to last for another week or two and make you feel like crap." I really don't know whether to believe that or not, and whether I should insist on going in and getting a throat culture or something. Blah. I didn't take medicine today from 6am until 10pm and I did mostly survive, though my throat felt yucky at times and I coughed a lot. I survived band ok, and then played board games for a few hours in the CS ugrad lounge. jcreed beat me and Carl and Dan at Starfarers, and then we played a few hands of suicide spades and then Rook and then Egyptian Rat Screw with Kevin and Kevin's girlfriend Jen. (Whee, Kevin has a girlfriend. I guess the only other person here who might appreciate why that is weird is Carl) Carl and I turned ERS into Spit, and then we went home. While we were in the lounge a bunch of people were moving around furniture, it was sort of amusing to watch.
I guess in terms of being healthy and getting better, it wasn't an optimal way to spend my evening, but whatever.
I wish I wasn't so nervous about getting on a plane to go to Laurel and Jason's wedding this weekend. Even Mr. Gerlach, our band director, was like "Aren't you worried about getting on a plane? Mrs. Gerlach and I are supposed to go to my nephew's wedding in January, and I am even going to play the trumpet there, but I'm not sure I want to go any more." Bleh. People keep reporting plane crashes and deaths all of a sudden, and it's just sort of frightening to me.
Oh yeah. Eli has an account here now. He hasn't posted anything yet, but I guess he will at some point, and will alert you all to his presence when he feels like it.
Also, because I'm lazy: Carl, the four Korean songs on that CD were "Bu Dam" by Bak Ji Young, "Sung Suk" by Space A, and "Ba Kkwo" and "Wa" by Lee Jung Hyun. I think "Sung Suk" is the one you liked, but I'm not sure. Ask me at work tomorrow and I'll figure it out for you.
