Cool Stuff

Got kudos from my boss on my specification. Lots of it, and he basically said that it was exactly what he wanted, just before the whole engineering group plowed in and told me exactly what was wrong with it. laughter

So that was cool.

Also, over the weekend, taking advice from , we bought a portable fencing/pen thingy. It's a good 15 feet of plastic fencing with safe, baby-climbable joints. We've set it in the office so that Jet can no longer get under my chair's wheels, under the desks, and into all the cords. He has half the room, though, to roam about in and play with all the toys, which is really cool. We tried it out last night, and Jet was so fascinated with the fencing itself that he never got around to being fussy about being on a different side of it than me. We'll see how long that lasts, but in the meantime it should make today better.

We're getting into all the reviews of the stuff I wrote. With all the weeks I put into it, I shouldn't be surprised that it's taking a good, long time. It'll be several days before the review is done, and then I'll get to fold stuff in. Whee...

Mmmm... yummy snack

Okay, I really like the LiveJournal status page. It's cool.

Five hours of meetings yesterday, another five today, another five tomorrow, and then I'm taking Thursday afternoon off. And probably working like a fiend on Friday, but that's okay, as I have very specific stuff to work on, which is a good thing, and I can just bang through all my to do lists.

It's satisfying to get things done. I actually called the dentist to talk over the fillings, as a very canny, old dentist of mine filled molar fillings with composite instead of metal in order to keep them from being as temperature sensitive as they would otherwise be and to keep my rather fragile teeth together, as the composite actually bonds to the tooth, rather than the metal fillings that are just wedged in. And the present guy has no problem with that. So I'm glad. I'll pay a bit more and probably have to replace them again sometime in the future, but better than living, now, with teeth that can't eat ice cream or drink tea.

So that's something of a relief. It'll be even better when the fillings are actually done.
