The high-pitched whine
Where the hell did that go?
That was the better part of a week that just flew by.
I’m sure it had something to do with the deadlines that keeps getting put on me. Nothing I can’t handle, they’re all good deadlines that I can make, but taken as one lump sum, they really move the days along.
I actually went out dancing last weekend, but I don’t think Amy and I have done anything on a weekday night for quite a while. I’ll be getting another paycheck tomorrow, the second at the new job. Perhaps its time to start expanding a few of the extra-curicular activities.
Work is crusing right along as are the freelance projects. However, it’s becoming obvious that if I’m going to keep the freelance stuff moving, I’ve got to get a new machine to work on at home.
The stuff that I’ve been doing at work has been fabulous. even loaded with extensions and fonts, the machine just glides along. It’s a G3 with 160+ megs of RAM. My Centris 610 just isn’t up to the task like it used to be, even stuffed with RAM. At work, I can get into Illustrator and just run with designs, jump over to Photoshop and then drop it all into Dreamweaver/BBEdit and the machine doesn’t hesitate. At home I can barely get Photoshop and Netscape open at the same time.
I’m just whining. But with good reason.
