TFGIF

That line says it all. Only 4 more hours of work to go and I am making a big effort to push another massive project to a close by the end of today. ONWARD!

LAS Mess

Trying to find an easier system to importing in LAS logs, to GeoGraphix, at work. I have to manually edit every single UWI/API in the headers because they are not in the same format as we use at work. I may have to look into creating my own utility but it will take a few months of work and more then likely some help.

I might be able to toss some kind of simple Batch editior together in VB, but I am SURE there is some sort of utility like this that already exists. I just have to find it.

Work Isn't Happening Today

So I took an Zyrtec tablet today for my seasonal-alregies. I try to avoid it most days because it REALLY makes my super-drowsie in the mornings. I took it right after I got to work because I found it even makes me sleepy at the wheel.

Problem is I was trying to keep myself awake at work too. Nothing was working. Ridiculously strange music, Espresso, Cookies... NOTHING. Well, the caffeine eventually caught up with my by lunchtime. Now I am in turbo-mode and I am so antsy that I can't get anything done now either. I really hate when I can't get anything done. I feel defeated!

Lunchtime Sunshine

Between projects I caught a bit of lunch at work. I spent my hour outside enjoying the sun while it was still out. It was about 10F cooler today. However the big dark clouds are starting to roll in. I am glad I have a window at work to look out of. I truly think I would go crazy in this office if I didn't have one.

It's probably why I was so out of it at the one job I had a year or two ago, I never got the chance to see the sun much during the day. And during the winter months I would arrive at work and it was dark and leave work and it was dark. It was no sunshine all week for me then. I never want to go back there again, no matter how much they offer to get me back.

I am thinking about moving my blog but I don't know what to use. I know quite a few of you use diffrent then Blogger. Any suggestions?

My Walls

I cannot believe I spilled this all out at one time. Especially with how reserved I usually am.

I put up walls. No, not physical barriers, but so thick emotionally that they might as well be physical barriers at times. Some creatures are solitary, humans are supposedly social creatures. I think it helps keep us grounded with how cereberally complex we are compared to the other members of the animal kingdom. However I have a hard time interacting with others.

I almost have to force myself into social situations but even then I don't feel totally comfortable. I rarely have anything pify to add to a conversation, especially among larger groups. I sometimes feel better in groups of up to four or five people I know fairly well. It took me a while to become comfortable around people at work and now I seem to socialize with them better. I still have to inject myself in to make myself seem like part though.

It is difficult for to make friends, although the ones I do make are never forgotten and seem to be very aware of my circumstances even if I never announce them.

I have herd of terms like Social Anxiety, although I ne'r had them diagnosed as such. My general lack of faith in others and total distrust might play into it or out of it though. Why distrust? Not sure why. I have had not past reason to. Perhaps from being bullied in school for a few years. At least until I opened up a can of whoop-ass. I was never bothered again and even others would interject on my behalf letting them know that being crushed up between an immovable object and an irresistible force would not be fun.

I hope my daughter can easily get along with people. She will have a much easier time in life. I wouldn't say my life is bad and I still don't think I would change anything in my past since I have made it this far and I guess I appreciate my lot in life.

I may have not had the best hand dealt to me at the start of the game, but at the midpoint it seems I have made quite a good hands for myself and even pulled a few winning hands out of my butt.

Need Good Notetaking

I am wondering what others use to take notes. Lately I have been using Notepad++. It seems to do the job in providing me a way to add notes on any windows system launched from my flash drive. I have tried different systems and I want something that is very easy for me to use(or else I wont use it) but also very portable. I have tried Google notebook, but it is unsecured. I have tried different programs, but most are not portable and need to be installed on every machine. Wondering what others use.

I want these properties:
-Portable Drive / Dosn't need installed.
-Easy to add a new note without any fuss at all.
-If intarwebz based, must be HTTPS or similar.

A Possible RSI?

Historically it comes and goes, mostly while I am at work at keyboard. A slight tingle creeps down from my finger tips and into my wrist. It Hits! A sharp pain immobilized my hand and I drop whatever object I am currently holding. I grab my wrist in pain, but by then there is nothing I can do. It happened again today at around 9am while pounding away at the letters while making spreadsheets.

Lately however my wrists have been having a more dull pain when moved to the extreme angles. This could be cause by the lifting of our nearly fifteen pound offspring in the car seat with one hand and twisting the wrist to position it properly in the car. It could be I have been overworking my hands on a mostly daily basis.

I will start writing down times and dates that I have been getting pain in my wrists and why. Hopefully it will provide enough documentation if a doctor would need some data to diagnose weather it is some form of Repetitive Strain Injury or not.
