August 2010

13 Aug 2010

Updated with wiki and 2 more projects moved! Yay. It is all cleaned up now, only one project still current and I added a "recently posted" section. I see there are less than 100 F1 projects and that has been consistent. There are 12 over 100 days and that is a bit unusual. I just don't know if it is worth it to highlight them continually or remind people they can just sort by how long. I will chat with the forum tomorrow. Tired today.

I chose to wait until the last minute to pack up half the office and of course, it made me all tired and sweaty. I half expect the movers to be at my place at 8am and upset I'm not ready and half expect that I'll spend the morning waiting for them to show. Sigh. (They didn't by the way, I had until 9am)

Updated the wiki and some list of posted projects. 2 more projects listed as posted since yesterday OR I missed them. Also found one posted project still lurking as moved off this page but not made it to the posted page yet. A total of 12 projects moved status. I have only the "active" to update and then the forum thread to check in with.

Hotter today and I wonder why I have a positive genius for wearing this one shirt when I'm going to get sweaty. Of course, I'm associating the shirt with making me sweaty, which it doesn't, just my timing. I also spent some effort last year getting 3/4 sleeve shirts to be more office like and to avoid my flabby upper arms in sleeveless. Naturally, this year I am boiling in those 3/4 sleeves and wishing I had more sleeveless to wear. Menopause has hit ... well, perimenopause with its heat swings. Not as bad as I have seen or heard from many friends, but enough to be irritating.

The visit seems to be going pretty well, but irritating incidents that shouldn't be happening are showing up.

Updated the wiki and list of posted projects only. 8 projects and some time later I'm tired and so I'll try tomorrow for more updating of the wiki and trying to catch up. I am trying to slowly get back into the swing of things for DP, and I'll likely post soon on the F1 foofers and see if anyone needs a list at all or maybe change it up and do more convo / teaching style type stuff or what. Nothing too ambitious, trying not to burn myself out again.

Weather is cool and overcast. I've had some health issues (generally minor if prolonged) and mental issues (major stress) and I'm trying to simplify my life. Work is increasingly stressful and hard. I'm in the middle of the next set of outside reviewers and I've got to move offices and share for the first time in 15 years. I don't want to, she doesn't want too, the room is too small for we two. I am getting closer to quitting all the while feeling the stress of the money situation. And it bugs me the number of people who say "this job is not good for you, you should quit" as if I it were easy to find another job at all right now.
