Back’s much better. Monday at work was crazy busy…. spent the whole time doing research and programming, my favorite two things that I’ve ever been paid to do. Sometimes hard work, but rewarding, and makes use of my strengths.

On the opposite side of the fence, I state for the record that I really dislike my Quark obligations… possibly because I only know a very little bit of it, and am expected to be an expert. I’ve learned a lot lately, but there’s still some room to grow.

Big Kahuna Kindly split call with me this week and I think that’s a fine Christmas Bonus… Plus, she got us all veggie lasagna for a Christmas lunch last week. Works for me!

Heading out to supper with Danny tonight.. and it looks like Janet’s friend Dick invited himself along for Friday. That’s a peeve, but I don’t foresee it being too much of a problem. Dick’s more of Janet’s pal than Danny, really… but I figure it’ll give Janet someone to talk to, if Danny and I go off on a conversational tangent she’s not interested in.

I’ve been a DC++ing fool lately… downloaded about30 gigs worth of stuff, and really have only previewed it to make sure it’s what it was claimed to be. I tend to grab movies, watch ’em, and then delete them…. Sort of a netflix, without the postage or service fees.
