Work, Work, Work
I am so tired. I need to invent a new word that's worse than tired.
I set up a server today. It was day 2 of the build, and I should have finished, but some things went wrong, as does happen with computers ( :-o ) sometimes. So I pushed my brain all day, sat without moving a whole lot for far too long, (for the second day in a row) and now I'm just so beyond tired that tired is a dot in my rear-view mirror.
And I get to do more of it tomorrow.
But I had my moment today. A lady at the school where I was working said to a technician sitting with me, "How does she do that? I couldn't ever get my head anywhere near that."
Yeah, okay, sometimes I don't acknowledge that what I do takes a lot of skill. When you just do it day to day, you start to feel like it's nothing special. But hey, it is!
And even though the server isn't quite finished, and I still have more to do tomorrow, I did a good (LONG) job today. So I'll take that. :-)
