Whew!
Yes, I’ve been busy.
Oh, and boring. I’m still boring, so I have little or nothing to blog about, and when I at last have opportunity to do so, I’ve probably forgotten what it was I thought I had to say anyway.
Work is kicking my butt, and I think my boss is less than thrilled with my ability to work database magic. He’s not said anything negative, per se, but I get the sensation from general things he says that he hoped for more expertise in that area when he hired me. I think I’m disappointed in myself too, and a little afraid. I don’t need to be canned. Yikes.
So I’ve been hammering away at this stupid thing, trying to make it behave like it should. It’s not, and I don’t know why. Anyone an MS Access guru out there? Could use a hand if you are.
Other than that, any writing I’ve done has been brief. I did some on the train Tuesday by borrowing my boy’s laptop, but it eats battery life like I wolf down potato chips, and weighs a little less than my dad’s ‘55 Olds did, but not much. So I think I’ll just focus on reading my computer books on the train in the afternoon, and sleeping on the train in the morning.
I still want to share some things about the train regulars I’ve seen, but … pff, who’m I kidding? When will I have time for that?
Meanwhile, my WIP languishes on the back burner, curdling and souring. *Sigh* Ah, well. Life.
Take care, all!

you should just plant a portable nuke in chicago, lol. ahh. just a random miller light (or lite) induced thought, as i’ve been drinking it in a college fashion this whole week, yes WEEK. Please feel free to delete this comment, lol.
Yes, but do you have to take the train into Ogilvie Transportation Center, I seriously hate that train station, don’t get me started on the gay ass name for one.
J. R. — Nope, I take the train down to Union, and it still sucks ass, even if it’s got an easier name to pronounce/remember. Not to mention the most LAME layout I’ve ever seen.
Oh well. It’s a living!
“He’s not said anything negative, per se, but I get the sensation from general things he says that he hoped for more expertise in that area when he hired me.”
Maybe it’s just a motivational trick. You shouldn’t worry too much about it.
Leafless — He and I subsequently talked. We’re cool. But I’m still flustered by not being able to get this to happen.
