The end of a long day...
February 17, 2005 @ 02:20 PMToday was a bit long. The good news I actually was enjoying what I was working on at work. That’s a rarity. For the most part it’s just build this screen, fix that button, blah blah blah. I hate doing that. I like to tinker and play with new technologies and try new things. I like to design, and refine, and architect systems. I hate… HATE… building another screen. Which is the single greatest reason I would consider jumping ship and picking up a new job somewhere else. I rarely feel like my abilities are being used to their fullest, they basically discourage learning and growing (by that I mean they offer no training funds, and I’m not paid for time I take to attend any training that I pay for myself), and my ideas are rarely listened to—even tho a significant number of times I’m later proven correct.
And I say all that to say that today was an anomaly. Today I really liked what I was doing. Because I was designing and implementing a significant new feature in our application. It was fun.
After that I swung by J’s apartment and helped her clean up a bit. She’s having some neck/back issues. Probably a pinched nerve. Anyway, she can’t really use one of her arms right now until they get her drugged up and better.
And now I’m home. And going to bed. Catch ya on the other side!
