A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

That fluttering in my lower right chest cavity is already going to town today and I’ve had no caffiene. I failed to pull any of the anticipated overtime on this current project. Not only has that set us behind, it’s like turning down free money! I’m so irritated with myself.

Today is my family’s day at the Appalachian Homecoming. I will miss it because I did not work hard enough.

The Homecoming is a celebration of the culture and heritage of Appalachian pioneer, mountain, and rural life. Mountain, folk, hymn, bluegrass, and traditional music will fill the air each day, from four stages, from cabin porches, from the log church, and from shady spots throughout the complex.

A sign, er, card

I had the pleasure of a phone call from someone that found my business card on a board at TCBY. I had forgotten I’d placed it there! I was able to solve their problem in a few minutes on the phone gratis. Hopefully it will come back around.

Ether

Well now. I was having a very surreal moment at the office and emailed a post that went to the ether. How funny.

Quality Programming rule #1: If you are not given a spec, write your own. I broke this rule on my current project. Today I fixed the problem and it both sent me reeling as well as gave a definite end to the work. There is much to accomplish in a very brief time.

I am going to sit down and spend a few minutes each day writing, reviewing, and revising specs on the projects I am and want to do both personal and professional. It makes all the difference in the world!

He got respect

Rodney Dangerfield has passed away. His spirit was overheard saying, “I met St Peter and asked, ‘so are you letting me in?’ and St Peter replied, ‘Like Hell!’ I never knew Heaven and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences were run by the same people. I get no respect!”

Progress!

Actually pulled myself from bed for a 2am-5am programming stint! Got some cleaning in also as I started through a pile of old mail and had fun trashing ads mailed to me in 2002.

Time for a quick nap.

Continuance

And the boy stumbled upon where the crowd gathered in silence. They held the limp body of the Genie above their heads and with sadness and confusion declared, “We killed him and the nightmare did not fade.” The boy fell to knees with anguish in his face and tears pouring from his eyes. “You fools! You killed the wrong beast for this is MY dream!” The boy momentarily collapsed until an unusual calm beset him. He slowly rose to his feet and there stood the Man. “It is my dream. And it is still alive!”
