Wednesdays

I generally like Wednesdays. Not sure why, but I've always had a sort of bond with this day. Regardless of the fact that it's only the middle of the work week, and nothing good really ever happens on it... I still like the day. Today is one of those Wednesdays that I wish had already passed though. I'm working on doing validation on a new document management system at work. The people running this project are all located in California. Which means, when I start working on something at 8am, and I run into an issue, I have to wait until 11am to get an answer. This doesn't make validation easy. It also means that it's probably more useful for me to just come in 3 hours late and leave 3 hours late each day this week so I'm on west coast time with them. I'm frustrated with incompetant people leading projects. That's work news.

Other news: I got a new lens for my camera! We really don't have the extra money for it right now, but it was at Circuit City (which is going out of business this week here) and marked down for their liquidation sale.... So it was about 70% off of the original price. It's a telephoto lens (70-300mm), which I didn't have. And I needed one for weddings that are coming up. It isn't an IS lens, which is unfortunate (image stabilization), but I'll just have to learn to keep my hand steadier! :) Now if only it would warm up enough outside for me to go take pictures.... I tried to on Monday, but my hands froze within minutes - to the point of not being able to hold onto the camera. So much for steady hands!

Tequila is growing, still. She looks like a big puppy now. Still a massive fuzz ball and hyper. She doesn't listen when we call, but does know to stop what she's doing when we tell her "NO!"... it's a learning process. She doesn't get to go outside without a leash on because instead of coming to us when we call her, she runs towards us and past us, just out of reach.... and back and forth like it's a game. So until we break her of that, she gets to be on a leash. Chief enjoys that, because then he can get away from her.

So other than working too much and trying to reorganize our house (still), nothing else new to report....
