Sense of Accomplishment
The pissiness of midweek went through the usual phases:
1.) Self-fulfilling prophecy: Think I don't work enough? Okay. I'll show you not working. This one usually lasts for a day or so. I can't maintain it for very long.
2.) Withdrawn resolve: Pick a project that's been lingering in an unfinished state (and there are many since the direction changes on a regular basis), and just head down, plow through it. So, I picked the documentation overhall, which step one was porting all existing documentation from the current mess into a more structured Wiki that I did the framework pages for last month. How many documents to port, you ask? Well. Total number of documents: 108. Total previously ported: 20. Total ported between Wednesday and Saturday: 88. Sit down, and stfu.
3.) Less withdrawn resolve: Regardless of the bullshit swirl, I'm just going to do what I came here to do: document and improve processflow. I want to show myself what I can bring to the table, and I want to make the most of the week that I'm spending out there at the end of the month.
Speaking of that week... it should be interesting. I'm hoping to have productive talks with the powers that be regarding the scope of my job. That being said, I'm not particularly optimistic about the outcome. We'll see what happens. In the meantime I at least want to go out with a blaze if that's what's going to go down.
There's not much in the other news department. Gbic had her stitches removed on Friday, and got her rabies shot. The incision has healed nicely according to the doctor, so yay. We're getting back into playing Halo online, which is nice, and mostly relaxing. Still dealing with punkass kids is irksome, but not quite as irksome as the penile challenged adult players. Comes with the territory, though.

Bummed
It's been a sad 24 hours. I feel like the rug has been ripped out from under me at work, and I'm trying to decide what to do about that. I know that I'm still viewing the situation emotionally rather than rationally, so I have to hold off on making any decisions until I can shift into that mindset. To find out that the months of hard work are completely devalued is just crushing on a personal level. I need to get past that feeling and figure out if the position and situation is tenable or not. When Richard gets back, we'll discuss.
Speaking of Richard, he gets back late tomorrow night -- it's been a weird trip because I've really been so occupied with other things that I've not been moping around because he's gone. His flight out on Saturday got all kinds of screwed up. A great big FUCK YOU to ORBITZ. Orbitz sucks, their customer service sucks, and I would encourage everyone I know to cease the use of Orbitz.
Saturday I spent trying to track down flights for Richard, and playing 7 hours of halo, trying to qualify Richard and me for some halo3 beta action. Sunday, I watched the Ghost Hunters marathon and wasn't interrupted once ;)
