good / bad

Good stuff @ work:

Yesterday had a meeting with Rhodes, my once and future boss. Talking to him just always makes me feel good, the combination of just talking to someone who's smart/interesting/funny, interested in what I have to say, agrees with much of what I have to say, and oh BTW would genuinely like to give me a job (if he can work out the budget for it).

Today, went to a lunchtime seminar on data mining, it was just my kind of geeky thing, all about precision and recall.

And not least, won the argument about not doing all of the java forums taxonomy changes in one huge, nasty, messy, complicated release. Quite a relief.


Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the rest of this moody bitch's life:

Followed up on the gym membership to the extent of getting a free 10-day pass to 24 Hour Fitness. Which is good. Except when I did 20 minutes on the step machine, my knees became very, very unhappy. And are still a bit grumpy (from Saturday to Tuesday, 3 days, hmm.) So I am not giving up, but I am scared. If I can't do this, what the hell am I going to do?

And I had that F2F meeting with The Guy, which was brief and interrupted and truncated, as things sometimes are. He was having trouble remembering my name. As sometimes happens. So there was nothing wrong with the meeting, except that driving home I kept thinking: "Right. I know I'm being stupid. I already knew that. Stupid, stupid me". Because, you know, he is a nice guy and friendly and collegial. And I have zero, zilch, nada reason to think he even sees me.
