Today sucked.  Big time.  It was one of those days when you know you don’t want to go to work before you go to bed the night before.  I spent my entire commute this morning going over some of the inevitable problems that I knew I faced.  It started with a computer issue.  You know, that inexplicable software glitch that appears in a program you’ve successfully used a thousand times but today it doesn’t want to work.  Then the printer started eating my drawings because somebody crammed the recycle bin up against the collator or whatever that thing is called.  After I got that fixed I went over to tell someone that, nice guy that I am, I went ahead and sent some drawings out for pricing because I knew they were in a hurry.  To my surprise they jumped shitty on me and said that they didn’t want to do it that way.  Following a brief flurry of opinions I went back to my cube.

    After reading some email and researching a problem that someone else created and I have to deal with, I went to my boss’s office and told him I wanted to take next week off to think about my future.  He told me to go fishing or something.  I told him I was going to go looking for a job.  So tomorrow, if I still have a job, I guess I’ll keep a low profile.

    This afternoon I went to look at a prototype I’ve been working on for about a year now and was sorely disappointed in how things were going.  I’ve been working on one little problem for two months and it seems like every time I think it’s fixed, it goes to hell in a hand basket.  I’ve reached that point where if the next idea fails; I’m recommending ditching the entire project.

    Oh well, in the words of Tom Cruise in Risky Business, “Sometimes you gotta say 'What the F...'”
