Things that bring me down, fast

[isabelladangelo]

I was fooling around on LJ rather than sewing (like normal. I need to do one more roundel on the sleeves but I need to go to the store and get more gold cord.) when I went to look at my user info. I use my profile a lot as a short cut to my friends' pages at work anymore since I can't actually see my friends page at work. (The really blocked the weirdest stuff, honestly...)

Anyway, I was looking at my old LJ friend's user map that was going around last year and I added to my profile. Well, I clicked on one of the pink dots to find out it was ladyrowansplace. I didn't know her well at all but it still got me off my giggly "OMG! Chocolate!" high I was on. It didn't help that it's been almost exactly six months.

Now that I'm no longer hyper, I should give a bunch of updates. I detest the embroidery software. I want to use Adobe Photoshop to edit the image, which I have the CD for but the laptop doesn't have a CD-ROM. Using paint is just made of fail. Really. I just want to make the lines of the unicornate hippocampus thicker, which, in photoshop is super easy. In paint? no. It's just not. And when I transfer it to the embroidery software it looses lines. So, rather than a full loop in his tail, I get a C. Grr...

I'll have all this sewing done by the time I get Pennsic, really. It's a bunch of stuff that I should just sit down and do but I want to get the sleeve and the Atlantian mullets done first. This is mostly because, in my mind, those are the things I simply can't do at Pennsic on Sat as I'm struggling to get everything read. I need to have access to my sewing room to get those items done. Of course, this means everything else gets neglected. I understand this, but I'm a procrastinator extraordinare. ;-)

Work was interesting. The cake we had today was really good and matched my bright pink shirt. I got to work late, really late. I ended up not getting home today until around 7 or so. I hate getting to work that late but I needed the sleep.

So tomorrow, I'm going to attempt to explain that, yes, we really need decent search capabilities embedded into the program. You know, something that will allow multi word searches? Everyone wants this but the engineers say they need an outside search codex. (That wasn't the word they used but my brain is mostly dead right now and I can't remember the computer term.) I want to run my idea of a multi form search past the engineers and see what they think. I know it won't help with complex searches, which I hope to see next year, but it might help narrow down the simple searches without much difficulty.

I've been attempting to read about running reports and my brain refuses to let me. I need to read more on it but I really want to focus on getting the current errors out of the system before we go out for beta in oh....three weeks? ::sigh:: I'd rant about it but there's little point really. I'll just run a few more reports on the old system and see if there's anymore useful data that we need to transfer before beta. It's actually a lot more fun than it sounds. It's amusing to read all the data in the internal (ie old) system. I've learned all sorts of evol things. Yes, I know that's not actually good but at least I'm learning, something, right?

I think I should turn procastinating into an art form but that would take too much work. ;-)
