Work has gotten incredibly stressful
February 26, 2005 by Adam in Adam
Work has gotten incredibly stressful. This morning I woke up, connected to our intranet, and spent an hour and a half of my Saturday morning writing code. After finishing up one project and answering e-mails, I made myself stop and do something enjoyable.
I switched over to a little Unreal Tournament 2004 and spent the next twenty minutes blowing up a whole lot of stuff.
There's a huge amount of change happening at work and I'm trying to help shield my customers from the brunt of it, as well as trying to help Glen not go crazy. We have one developer taking a month off, two pregnant, a new hire, a position about to be hired, and a slew of people from another team that just merged with ours. Unfortunately most of the work is falling to me.

I love my new digital camera
February 22, 2005 by Adam in Adam
 I love my new digital camera. It has lots of nice little features and the image quality is pretty darn good. I was having fun last night taking videos with sound, zooming around the pictures I took using the LCD on the back, and so on. I like the way it seals itself up when the lens isn't in use.
It's a Canon Powershot A400 in case anyone's in the market for a new digital camera.

February 16, 2005 by Adam in Adam
I blew up my digital camera last night, unscrewing it from a tripod. It made a loud popping noise that sounded like something exploding, never a good sign. I'm leaning towards a static electricity situation, but it could be anything.
Anyway, I plunked down some cash and a new camera should arrive next week. The resolution is a bit lower than what I currently have, but it's a highly rated Canon and I was never satisfied with the quality of the Kodak (sorry Danica and Andy). I had the option of a $140 camera or a $280 camera, but decided the cheaper one had a better price/performance ratio.
For some bizarre reason I'm being cheery at work, even though massive amounts of work is coming my way. Fortunately I made some progress on a rather large database project. It involves importing 2 million records each day, which is nearly a billion records a year. Whew.

"Blackbird was there, doing something vaguely breakfast-like." That's how some spam I received this morning started. They're becoming more like existential treatises on modern living, especially when the image about buying free meds pops up in the middle.
There's actually a site that takes spam subject lines and turns them into poetry. It's hysterical, if somewhat risque.

 Work is slowly getting more manageable again, though the sense of business hasn't yet faded. I've been fortunate to have Jonathan as my counterpart as he's been very much able to take on the work I throw his way.
I also seem to have become addicted to a new t.v. show. I've been watching Alias, getting drawn into the lengthy plotlines and twists. I'm a sucker for spy movies and am currently reading the Borne Identity when I do the stair stepper at work. For a few days there it was an episode in at night and another in the morning. Great fun.
