I was reminded recently that tomorrow is my linguistics midterm, that there is no class that day, and that it is both take-home and open book.

So I just got back from the hospital and boy is my face grieviously infected!

It's been a weird week. Knock over my regular computer and make the video card go kaput, decide to cut my hair. Wake up the next morning delireous and thinking I missed a spot, accidentally shave a strip right off, and decide to pop a zit. Next day my face looks like I'm holding a golf ball in my cheek and I can barely see out of that eye.

Also the wossname anti-biogen? First IV. Interesting. My arm was cold. Also theres a horrific taste in my mouth and my cheek still hurts.


What a third of a week. Wonder what will happen tomorrow.

But you take an optimistict view, right? Are you at least a masochist?

THe whole 'ugly as sin' thing will sort itself out.
 
If you want pictures of my diseased cheek may I direct you to NOPE avenue, HELL NAW offices.

What was it?

Just, you know, generic infection.

Just, you know, generic infection.

Generic infections are the worst.
You don't even get any of the cool side effects of infections, like becoming a zombie or a horrible abomination.

Horrible zombie abomination? Is that a possibility? Ehh... I'd rather just the horrible abomination.

Feeling like a coding boss for finishing this somewhat-lengthy assignment. I mean, I know I can't do much with this programming compared to other people, but I'm facing these problems and I am solving them, and that makes me extremely happy.

I was just rummaging around in the back of my head when I happened across a very happy set of memories: my 6th birthday, a newly released copy of Rogue Squadron, and playing it with my father, one of us piloting and the other shooting. I really need to see if I can find where that got to; it deserves a nostalgia replay more than almost any other game I've ever had.

Max's Boss: Sometimes I just wish I didn't have to put up with all the damn incompetence that I always have to answer for. Why can't I have more employees that just sit in the background and get stuff done like you?

Like... Like me? Fuck I'm the biggest loud mouth uses-jokes-to-hide-self-loathing guy in the joint. When did I get a good reputation?

Physics is fun o_O
I just used twenty minutes to calculate how deep a dwarf that falls at terminal velocity into water would sink. He hit the water at 88.88 m/s and sank to 140 meters during 4.7 seconds then floated back towards the surface.
There's a good chance I did something wrong, but it was fun nevertheless. Also, Euler's Method. Or maybe it's iterative calculations.

[Max White]

He would sink to the depth of the water. Dorfs don't float.

Same thing happened to me today.  I've been working on some statistical reporting software for a client for going on seven months now, and a month ago was the biggest test - it came back with twenty three thousand individual errors, almost convincing them to delay opening their business.  I've been plugging away at fixing 99% of them, and demonstrating where the client's prior contractors were fudging numbers and whatnot.  At the same time, I spend a good third of every day notating my game design, playing Minesweeper, and sleeping sitting up.

We had a big conference meeting with my boss, his boss, and the head honchos of numbers from the client to talk about the reporting.  They loved my wonderful spreadsheets, and my liaison closed the meeting with, "I just wanted to add, we wouldn't be nearly as far along without (Aqizzar)'s hard work on this," to general agreement.

As my behavior around here might have shown, I am not a person who handles compliments very well, especially when I know how much I've been slacking off (which is always).  Hearing a room full of Serious Businessmen say "yes, this is excellent work, our bottom line has been improved by your efforts" felt like nearly being hit by a truck and then not.
