Ever have one of those days?

Mine seemed to last two weeks. And the fun part is, it ain't ending anytime soon. The main culprit: work (of course). A whole crap-load of stuff seemed to be dumped down on me at one time.

We have a new co-worker. She's been with us for a little over a month now. It's a daunting task to come in brand new and learn the process we have to do our job. To start her off, they had her working with my other co-worker on a pretty big project. Then it was my turn. The past week or so, I've been kinda training-by-fire, since we had a number of projects come down at one time.

Like I said, it's quite a task for a newbie, but things worked out just fine. The thought process is a bit more difficult than the actual coding, but it does come around after some repetition.

Speaking of, check out the pages here and here. She did most of the setup on the first one, the other one is from a little while back.

And there are more to come. Including one doozy that I'll be trumpeting my praises for once it comes out and works. (note the confidence, yet why do I feel doomed?)

Been needing to get off my lazy duff and finish cleaning up around the house. Still have items spread out all over after all the floor-laying, repainting, general house work lately. I think the parents are coming down here next weekend, so that should light a fire under my arse.

Ever been so broke you rejoiced like never before on days when you were fed by others? The awesome MississippiMoms.com Mom Squad had their monthly meeting today. That means leftovers. Today was Chik-fil-A and there were leftovers a'plenty. Woohoo! That's one less meal to pay for and/or prepare.

Yeah, almost that broke. Though I am in decent enough shape until payday next week. That just means that I have to wait to see The Dark Knight and buy the new NCAA '09 video game.

Blame everything on work...and the new girl!

Nah, just work. Then when that doesn't work, I just blame work some more.

Darn work. What do they want, product for what they're paying us?

Humph.

Moo!

Pay? You get paid?
