Blergh.

I'm not awake this morning, and I don't know why; I got to bed at a reasonable hour (not too early, not too late) last night.

We did the vacuuming (Scott did the vacuuming) and such, the apartment looks better. I think the scrubbing may be a lost cause, what I did didn't seem to have much effect, and they're going to have ot repaint - either that or we would have to. Heh.

The donation center won't pick up furniture - you have to bring it by yourself, I guess, because I know they take it, I bought most of these there. I'm going to call today to confirm. At least it's all stuff that will fit in my car, but the whole reason I wanted pickup service was to avoid hauling the furniture. Hee.

I also got the grocery shopping done. That, plus reading LJ and unwinding a bit, was pretty much all I got done last night. Then again, if I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have all but one piece of my lunch today, I think. So not such a bad thing.

More bugs to deal with this morning. I can deal with these bugs, though. Not more Weird Stuff, just annoying. Annoying is good; annoying is predictable. I know what's causing all but one of them, and my main issue with that one is, I can't make it happen on my machine. She can't make it not-happen on hers. Same OS, etc., etc.

Bah.

I worked about ten hours yesterday, I expect the rest of the week to be the same, more or less. Tonight, Scott and I are probably going to go watch Spiderman after work. (He wanted to watch Star Wars together, too, but there's this little problem where, while I enjoyed Star Wars when I was young, I actively dislike watching it now - not really willing to pay theater prices to see the new trilogy, which is so far sounding like it's mostly fun if you're young or really into Star Wars. So he'll probably go watch that on his own at some point.)

Grey and misty and very pretty out this morning. I wonder if the general low-light is contributing to my being tired. Or the lack of an alarm. I'm not sure why. It was set, for the right time, but it didn't go off.

I still got up at 6:30 (after not moving twice because the alarm hadn't gone off yet), so I guess I did get to bed at the right time.

Stupid allergies. Or cold. Or whatever-it-is.

My nose is amazingly stuffed up. Earlier my ear ached a tiny bit, in sympathy. My head hurts, between, under, and over my eyes.

Not happy. Not at all happy. I'm supporting training at I. which runs until 4 pm my time. Here's hoping the decongestant & tylenol keep me alive until then. Right now all I want to do is collapse and sleep. (And here I wondered why I felt so sleepy this morning. Sinuses, maybe?)

Aaargh.

Wow. Kinda cool.

My boss just nominated me and every programmer on my team (well, not "just", we just got the certificates) for outstanding achievement for our dedication in the face of all these crazy issues.

It's very cool. And totally meaningless, too, because the fact of the matter is that while we have done so much, we don't have all the issues resolved yet, so we get to keep doing it. But it makes me feel a bit less like an ineffective failure for not having managed to be a miracle-worker.

I just hope we can pull all of this off in the time-frames now being set.

(And my headache is milder but still present, but I now have a conference call at 2 pm as well as the training to support, so....)

[2:20 update - my boss got back in time to take the conference call, so I'm still working on these bugs. Happier....]
