and so it goes part III

tuesdays used to be my favorite day of the week. But its quickly turning into Just Another Day. Went out to lunch with the boss on Friday and he made the offer to me to go permanent at this gig. This is good news, it is bad news, and it's so-so news all at once. Good that I'm considered important enough to make the offer, bad because I'm not going to take it, and so-so because it's a double edged bargaining chip with the current $VBC for whom I conslut. Though my 6 month review is coming up... hmm. Gads, has it been 6 months? I guess so. Time flies when you're working hard. My 600lb gorilla project is puttering along. Almost done with it though, then I can work on the real stuff that needs to be done - the 900lb gorilla. I also seem to be being sucked into working on the 1200lb gorilla, which is bad. Not because the project is bad, but because the project engineer running it is a twonk and he and I don't see eye to eye on the direction that should be taken from Engineering. Oh well. I can outlast him :-) I haven't been sleeping properly lately - last night was ok, thanks to us turning the air conditioning on, but I'm just bone tired when I get home and then I go and do other things with my lovely bride so I'm exhausted when I hit the pillow. Anyhoo, these things are sent to test us. I go now to get on a conference call.
