Slow day at work again (the client's database guy is taking forever to format the stuff he's sending us into some usable form--honestly, who needs dollar amounts out to ten decimal places?), so here goes.

Hot-damn! I've been quoted. (Hey, Quoted person: If that's the geekiest thing you've ever heard of, then you need to get out more. ;) )

Katrin has offered to help redesign this site. What's mainly stopping me is that I have no idea at all what I want it to look like. I'm kind of enjoying the minimalist black and white look, but I'd also like some individual touches.

Work. Bleah. My boss informed me last week that he'd like to see me "take a little more initiative" on my projects before he moves me to the Cool New Project(tm). Apparently my work is just "adequate". Well, y'know, maybe if you'd give me a project that doesn't use the same 1970s-vintage will-to-live-draining proprietary scripting language I've been using for the last year and a half--the kind of project I've been asking for for months--I'd be able to muster a little more enthusiasm. My one hope is that the next project I work on has a lot more work to be done in C than in the Hell Language. If I can crank that one out to his satisfaction, it's Cool New Project time.

In the meantime, it's kind of numbing and tiring to not really have anything to work on while knowing that when work does start back up, it's going to be fairly frantic. Lately I have just about enough energy to get home, eat dinner, play EverQuest for a few hours, and go to bed. Creative things are kind of on the back burner at the moment...the ideas are there, but I'm too exhausted to hammer them out. It's odd that I have more energy after a day of actual work than after an idle day like this.

Ah, well. Tomorrow's Friday and I've got some things to do to unwind. Maybe next week'll be better.
