It's just A Morning. That is all...

Dec 21, 2007

The crack in the top of my TV stand continues to grow. The whole top is now split — it’s a hairline crack, but it’s still cracked. I have to find some way to shore that up that won’t just make things worse. (I’m now wondering if the people who got rid of this TV in the first place...did so because the freaking thing was so heavy?!??)

I opened my email today and found a note from a former boss. A chatty, hi-how-are-you-keep-in-touch note. From That Boss. (I call my current boss the Anti-That Boss, to give you an idea of a) how good my current boss is; and also b) how bad That Boss [all the managers there, really] was.) So damn, now what? I never did master the art of being diplomatic, even though several people claim that I’m very good at evenhandedness and at being diplomatic. Trouble is, this one strains even my limits. I had to fight against sending an “OMGWTFBBQ!!!” email to my former fellow inmates.

I got the business license for the state, but now need to get one for the city. I think I can do most of this online (yay), but I anticipate another several hours of digging about, waiting on ignorehold, and diving down rabbit holes in pursuit of a city business license. (Though I did find out that my state business taxes will be easier to file than I thought; and since I do such a small volume of business most years I will essentially not have to pay anything. I have to file, of course; but won’t have to pay anything.)

I got a good head start on the test-suite for the billing software, and have even answered some of the questions by searching through the software support forums. I still have to install the ioncube loaders, and then get the trial version and actually test it out. And then of course there’s planning and building the main business site. I have some ideas, but I want to plan this out so that I only have to do this once. Problem is, one idea spawns several more. It’s like crossbreeding a hydra with a pair of rabbits.

On top of it all, I have a wicked caffeine headache. My first cup eased it somewhat, in that the tiny invisible dwarves are now wearing plastic cleats and doing a modified soft-shoe number, rather than moshing in metal-soled golf shoes...but they’re still up there, and they’re still dancing.

Dammit!
