Toasty...

Time to crack open a window - I'm melting in here!

Yum!

Okay, hands down, Michelina has some of the best microwave dinners I've ever tasted. Their Broccoli Chicken Alfredo is scrumptious! They also make awesome mashed potatoes - the best microwave ones I've ever had - and oriental rice and noodle bowls that are just wonderful. Portions are just right, cooking time isn't too long, and the prices are awesome - they're always around $1.60 at the store where we shop.

That... was a good lunch.

Thank God I don't do technical writing.

One of my tasks for today is reading about 30 pages of documentation written by the client and annotating where it isn't correct. This is not a good task for me; it's Monday, so my ability to focus is already frazzled (I'm still lacking in the mental discipline department), and it's mind-numbingly dull. I mean, of course, it's not exciting - it's documentation. But still, when I'd rather be coding or doing anything creative - and anything not for this client - it just saps the energy out of me. I'm not even sure what to annotate - it all looks fine to me, but then I don't use this system every day, and they also use it in ways that I didn't intend when I first designed it. All I know is that at first glance, I don't really see anything wrong. Chances are, I'm wrong and there are parts that need updating, but I'll be damned if I can tell where they are.
