Life On An Upswing

Just as I was complaining last night and expecting to settle into a quiet night with my computer, the fucker broke. Or rather, I broke the fucker after having a day of deleting stuff that had outlived its usefulness. The only problem with that being that when I restarted, there were still references to the deleted crap and I couldn't restart right blah blah technical problems reducing it to a tin can with a fan. My first reaction was panic and fiddling, neither of which actually worked. So, I called PrincessNella for some sage computer advice and resigned myself to actually find other things to do around the house instead of getting bent out of shape before tomorrow when she'd help me. I listened to music. I put all my bills in order. I wrote and masterplanned my end of the year turnaround. And after most of the day away, when I came back tonight to try my luck once more, this time I could figure out the problem and now Helga's back in business. Moral of the story: to solve a problem, I need a little distance and rest before blowing that shit out of the park. A good lesson for the rest of the year.

Most of last week can be summed up in a word: Asstastic. I really limped my way into Friday totally unsure of where to go from there. But, nice interlude like meetings with Ant and J definitely helped me gain back some my confidence. I am the shit. I just need to find the right way to market that and in the mean time, get my own independent projects off the ground. I've got a list of to dos and the motivation to wrap shit up nicely before 2003 draws to a close. It's been a good year and I plan to make sure it ends that way too.
