pixiecrinkleShould I be depressed that the 50 non-friends thing turned up mostly deleted, abandoned or friends-only journals?
What an odd day. It was a very slow start this morning, then we had a status meeting where the PM told me they were waiting on my code changes to deploy, and I had to say that I thought I probably wasn't going to get it done today, only to cause much uncomfortable grumbling. (Then, ironically, a big ol' burst of thunder). Of course, right after the meeting, I realized that one of my theories about how to get a variable in a node-set name in the xslt was actually correct, I was just missing the string() function. So I fixed it in twenty minutes flat and astonished them all. I think they think I'm deliberately messing with them, when in fact, I just have a slow brain in the morning.
Then I got an email from my boss saying that my cube in the new building has to be demolished to make room for the offices they are building. Sheesh. I was in it for *half a day*! But, that also means the re-org of the IT group is impending (we have meetings about this on Wednesday) so perhaps I'll feel a bit more settled in what on earth my job really is. The funny part was that he actually referred to those of us in the old building as "the web group in exile." That's what it feels like.
I got a CD in the mail today from a man with the unfortunate last name of "Dong." Every once in a while, I'll hit half.com and if something is cheap that I put on my wish list a billion years ago, I'll buy it, even if I don't remember why it's there. This was Eliza Carthy, who is, from the looks of it, a punk-ish violinist and from the sound of, trying to be the Tori Amos of violin (but with blue hair, rather than red). It's not bad, it's just not going to change my life or anything.
