Heat Wave

Man, it is like a heat wave around here. I think it is warmer outside than the temperature is set in the house.

Work: Vastly different than this time last year. I have been working on a new drawing program to put our designs into 3D with minimal amount of work (as opposed to Auto CAD). Man, I find myself starting and not moving until someone makes me. Good, because I am actually working. Bad, because I hurt later - my back, my eyes, my head. I keep pushing myself to get better and faster so it can be a useful tool rather than something I know how to do and it rarely gets done because I am not fast enough at it to squeeze it all into my day. WOW long sentence. Today I needed a Sketch Up break, so I worked on some office awards (Dundies, if you will). I had to find pictures that related to the award. Not easy when the award names are really obscure like Best Man Hour Ratio. You can't exactly type that into Google images and have some funny picture pop up. I enlisted the help of NAD and went to work. He is much better at finding stuff than I am. Maybe more patient is the word I'm looking for. Every time I would get mad about it all he would calm me down.

Home: Kind of boring. I like it that way sometimes. Boring can get lonely though. Christmas shopping, wrapping, and avoiding is key this year. Well just like every year. I try to avoid Christmas if I can. I thought I was 90% done with the shopping . . . only to realize I was closer to 43%. Blah. Those on the new list are those that I have no idea what to buy for them.
Seem to be over boy problems, at least for now. I can feel another one coming up. I feel bad for those around me on a daily basis because they have to hear me cry about it. Maybe I'm not as ready for this whole dating thing like I thought. Part of me feels like I will settle, and I don't want to. The other part of me feels like I am being to high strung about this, and don't want that either. Is there a middle spot? If so, I don't have any idea what that looks like.

I guess that is all I know. I don't have anything profound to say - but when has that ever really been the case that I did?

Later.
