A new week begins

Rough week last week. I did another 15 hour day thing.. not because I wanted to mind you but for the usual reasons. I did try and come up with a way around it by writing an algorithm that would run and figure out the regular expression patterns it needed on its own and remember the ones that worked to use again later. Kinda like an artificial intelligent system only very crude. It worked on friday.. was working when I left. I come in today and find out.. it didn't work at all over the weekend ... I'm tired of feeling stupid. I'm not a moron, and I do know what I'm doing.

I know a job typically isn't "fun", that's not the purpose of a job exactly, but ... well.. nevermind. Its not worth belaboring the point. It is what it is. I'll keep at it until the business goes bankrupt or I'm able to find a solid lead on work somewhere else. A co-worker put it REAL well last week: "The toast rate here is really high." Man, what an understatement! Give that lady the prize!

I did get a weekend without work though, with the system running on its own ( or so I thought ) I stayed away from work. It made me realize just how fatigued I'd gotten and what it was doing to me. It was nice to have a weekend break. I got to do some writing and relax some. Boy do I need to do more of that!

Well, on with the work week... huzzah..

Oh and the next part is posted to Spec Ops.. enjoy!
