Mr. Analog

S'up!

Usually at work I'm too effin' busy to log in on my phone... I have to do most of my surfing through Remote Desktop on another box.

I'm glad to be tearing this app a new one but it's got me tied up, and then when I get home I'm usually doing artwork or reading.

This last weekend a bunch of @%&# kinda fell through and I ended up playing Fallout 3 for the first time in a while... I played 17.5 hours of it...

I haven't found my happy spot at the new place (I may never, it's a @%&#ing gong show at every step, not "bad" gong show, just... everyone in that place is hilariously naive). The only sanity is the senior I work with but he's on two projects which leaves me working with the muppets most of the time...

I wanna get some real dev done, or at least fall back into somewhere comfortable again. I'm also seriously sick of this @%&#ing pager.

I'm sorry for your loss.

It's not really a "loss" it's "just a job" though, I don't really feel committed to what I'm doing. I'm still writing kick ass code though, it just doesn't grab me.

Sucks that work isn't going great, projects in my department haven't been going all that well aswell.

^ that's what I was talking about vis. "loss". As Larry Donner said in TMFTT "A writercoder writescodes, always" but it's way better when there's a reason to feel passionate about what you're creating...

Surfs up! Heh.

I don't it's not really going bad, but it's not really going good.

Darren, you hit the nail on the head... I got into this game for the action not the paperwork!
