Getting Close to Burn-Out
These past few days have been very up-and-down for me. Typically, that means I'm getting closed to burn-out as my tolerance for idiots is at a low point and they effect me more than usual. OK, that's harsh, but it's not that far from the truth. Today I had to dig into code that I told the management was a mess from before Y2K, and hasn't gotten any better with age. It may have been sleek and nicely designed at one time (for a Windows app) but now it's just a mess. There's too much business logic in the GUI and there's no clear pattern for the design. What part is doing what? Where's the documentation? All these are good questions that go completely unanswered. This makes for long, stressful, days. But it's a job.
Summer Time is here for the kids... today was the last (half) day of school and that means that they'll be doing a lot more things - running here, going to Band practice, Karate, etc. It's a hectic time and it's always nice when they go back to school in the Fall. But for now, it's time to enjoy the first few days of Summer and have a few cook-outs. Maybe a good burger with a slab of onion will pick up my spirits...
It's for sure, I need to find something.
Oh... MarsEdit's ability to include these images is amazing. I just can't believe how easy they have made it to include a little picture with a blog entry. I've been slapping them on the last few, and I really like the look of this. This is way better than my own on-line Journal... WordPress and MarsEdit are pretty impressive.
