It has been a trying week. For both me and others i might add. For me because I have been trying to get some stuff written. I didn't really care what stuff but anything would have been good. For others because i have been very grumpy and cross and not inclined to use my manners.
I think manners are very important. They cost you nothing to use. This morning a nice young man (i get to say that now that i am old) held a door open for me. I just thought it was very sweet of him. He was obviously brought up right.
This week i lost mine. I was just rude. I could blame the fact that i have been ill and stressed but still it is no excuse to bring pain into the life of another person.
I have been very busy trying to figure out the best way to express some concepts. Some things make perfect sense to me but would make no sense to others...and then you have to ask yourself what the point of the whole exercise is!
I also have images like this one:
I can easily explain this image (the different wind and ice dynamics/processes) in probably a paragraph or two but it is a bit tricky when you have thousands of images. And then you get the computer to do all the analysis for you...which you have to explain. This is why the pay me the absolutely no bucks!!!
Don't get me wrong i LOVE the coding part more than anything. In fact it is the the best part for me (problem solving). I am just the worst writer on the planet. I am so bad that i am thinking of going back to uni and getting some kind training (notice i didn't say qualification? that's cause you have to be able to do something to be called qualified).
So aside from fretting over this work i have been trying to think of some new direction to take my life. Not very successfully i might add.
So aside from trying to get my life together and get well again i bought myself a new tv. One of those new fangled ones. Which i screwed up. I always screw up. Wish i had a man in my life to read all those technical magazines [which i can't be arsed doing] and tell me what to do. I can't believe i just said that but sometimes it is true [for me]. *sigh*
The tv thing was fun. It was fun because after setting it all up (an hour) it would not go. At all. After everyone i asked stopped saying "did you press the on switch?", like i was a complete moron, i took it back to the store. The man who sold it to me chuckled at me first no doubt thinking to himself "i bet she just didn't turn it on". He fiddled with it. It was broken. Seriously, what are the odds that a new tv out of the box would be broken? So i got another one and had to come home and put that one together. Then i needed new cables because i broke the others [don't want to talk about it]. Then it turns out the people running the transceiver station have been doing upgrades which i am guessin' is not going well cause the channels keep disappearing and reappearing [which i thought was my doing for oh, like an hour].
See. I can make even the most mundane activity more complicated and annoying than it needs to be.
Fine picture quality though. Really enjoyed watching Torchwood on it last night.
Better get back to trying to get the voice recognition software working (i bet you can guess how that job is going).
