The Kemp Malaise

[ianuk]

Well, mel is down with what I had last week, though still being a zombie at work who should be home... I'm not better just maintaining the tired and congestion/sore throat. We were both so tired this morning we snuggled up and slept in. If I didn't have lots and lots to do, I'd have stayed home and slept. But I wasn't a bump on the couch either last night. I updated my ravelry account with latest project goodness (as seen in yesterday evenings post) and then I got out the callig stuff and callig'd 2 more. I tried to get the lining done on a third and at least pencil the text in but I failed...I was too tired to get lines to be straight. So, I headed to bed and read for a bit and was still lights out about 1015pm.

I'm still pondering my 5 projects for A&S and if I have left myself enough time. I've got the research done and I've been gathering stuff for the making but with two months left I'm laying it on the line. So, we shall see. I've been enjoying doing stuff I want to, being spontaneous with things and not having too many hard deadlines...sighs. Oh, well. We shall see. I'd feel bad though since I put so much work into getting the guidelines done for the championship and then not participating in it that I'd feel weird but...I think I need to think more and get on task.

Work has been hard in the brain draining sort of way. Mel got to hear some of it last night and with the failures I've been looking at he's also as confused to the "why" but of course that is why we have failure review boards. Yesterday was a brainstorming (nothing can be called crazy) on that issue and I even suggested "ninjas" as a cause...which really translates into sabotage of the hardware which, well, we can't ignore that as a possibility, though its highly unlikely. What is the axiom about if you eliminated everything and the only thing left is the improbable..its probably probable? yeah, we're in that stage of things. I'm also reminded of my stats prof's sweatshirt that said STATISTICS: IF ALL ELSE FAILS MESS WITH THE NUMBERS and FSM...charts lie and we have to find out how. Admittedly, this whole thing has been nice for me since I'm being valued for my, though odd, insights and playing the detective is always fun..especially into things I don't know a lot about and when you have to bring your hubby in on a geology question...its even more fun at the bomb factory.

So, I've been very drained mentally and then the worry sets in but eh. I'll survive. Just need to buckle down and work.

Not sure how I'm gonna feel after the long day today. I've forgotten to take the allergy meds that have been making me function so we shall see.

Once you've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Thank you! I just could not remember that in its entirety.

I couldn't either and it bugged me so I had to look it up.

I feel your pain. Same thing on this end with brain drain. I love when you finish one project and you get 2 more to replace it. That sense of accomplishment goes down in flames so quickly some times.
