I should do this if I’m going to do it
Uncategorized March 11th, 2009I spent all the time setting the blog up and then haven’t actually written anything since. You know, the one thing the blogs could really use is a spell check feature.
I’m not feeling great today, but I think it’s just my sinuses and the never ending roller coaster of weather. For instance it started at 10C this morning and its dropping to zero or less by this afternoon. You gotta love when those cold fronts and warm fronts chase each other through the sky like unruly dogs.
I have not really been focusing on the food thing lately – but since I haven’t really felt great I haven’t really been overeating either. Once again I did not bring lunch and I’m almost tempted to go home and make myself a sandwich – except for two things: a) I think they are coming in to some a pest maintenance visit this afternoon (they do it every year as a preventative) and b) if I were to go home I probably wouldn’t make it back this afternoon. I thing the siren call of the couch would be too hard to ignore. I’ll go out and pick something up instead – maybe even a lean cuisine from the little grocery store across the street. Really, what I would like is some nice soup. Maybe a salad. Ah, the joys of no longer working in the downtown core means that food required foraging. I could just Subway which has the advantage of being close and tasty and fairly low cal.
I am lacking a certain amount of motivation today (again I blame the sinuses) and I have a user guide I need to finish, but they keep redoing the functionality on the software and I’m getting frustrated by the sections I have to re-write. Dudes, why not wait until you are DONE and then I’ll write the thing? Of course I suspect they’ll be making changes right up to the launch date so that won’t help.
One of my brothers is coming over tonight. I created and manage his business website and so he wants to do some updates. Apparently he found another freelance web job I can have if I want it. Not sure I really need to have more work on top of the day job, the website I do for home, my sister visits and all the volunteer stuff I do with the neighbourhood association. I’ll have to think about it but I’ll probably turn it down.
You know, I’m not sure if I need to stop doing all this extraneous stuff or if the extraneous stuff is the only think holding me together some days. I’m just too busy to be depressed.

The blog does have a spell check feature. When you are at the page where you are posting, make sure the visual tab is picked. In the top line, under that area you will see alittle box with ABC and a check mark. Click that when you are finished with your post and it will show you mis-spellings. Of course, for some reason it didn’t like ANYTHING I typed that ended in “ter” but at least its something.
Subway sounds like the best choice.. they have light soups and salads too fdont they?
Gotta focus on the food. It really is 80% of this battle, with the other 20% being exercise!

Sinus congestion and pressure makes a person feel awful and sluggish. HOpe it clears soon. A bit of Vicks salve in the nose helps temporarily…

I can’t believe it…another tech writer! I so share your pain in having to re-write manuals when the software isn’t complete. Story of my life!!!
I am abnormally excited to meet another technical writer.
