Thoughts on a dreary, wet, grey friday

Argghh..i hate software debugging. I've spent the last week working on a problem, and have made very little progress. It doesn't help when the core software your application is built on is a beta version (read 'buggy!'). I get so frustrated because the debugging tools are not visual. I need to see little icons showing my different tasks, and how everything is connected. I'm a visual person, dammit!! ;-)

I guess the highlight of the week is that my boss moved to a different department, and now i'm offically reporting to a VP now. Can that be considered a promotion? I'm moving up in the corporate ladder! hahaha. not.

Caught the first episode of the Apprentice last night...its about the only 'intelligent reality show I'll watch, other than Survivor. The characters seem pretty entertaining....and I think putting the crew to work at the big corporations could be interesting--lots of free labour for them, i suppose. I still can't believe the guys team came up with that Crustacean Nation toy for Toys-R-Us.

Alright...time to get the Banana bread out of the oven.

half a world away...

For the past 5 weeks, Niki has been half a world away, enjoying the sand, surf and sun of Mauritius. Right now she's on her way home, on an airplane somewhere over Europe enroute to London, where she'll catch her connection to Vancouver. And in about 16 hours, she'll be home. Yay!!!
