Why does the customer ask the programmer about contract terms? Someone just called about something they want changed, and asked me if it was covered under their service terms. How should I know? I didn't sign the contract, nor did I write or read it. I'm not a salesperson or executive. I'm a developer. That's like asking someone working on an TV assembly line about the terms of your warranty. How should they know? They're just doing the work, not making the deals and decisions.

Ugh. Just been generally irritable lately, and I'm not sure why. Z thinks it's due to money concerns and that's probably some of it. The heat hasn't helped, and Ein's been really demanding of attention lately. Just wish I knew what was eating at me. There's got to be more than just these temporal things getting at me. Just not feeling very... appreciated or fulfilled lately. Like I'm working and paying bills and living life and not getting any sort of reward or payback for it. Wonder if I'm just jealous of Z, who only has to be there to get love and gifts and praise heaped upon her; she doesn't even have to work or leave home. Feels like I'm living in her shadow a bit, Jim to her Marlin Perkins, with her as always is Bo.

Think I might try to get out of work early today. Just feeling too depressed to work.

My baby called me at work. That, and the Caribbean jerk chicken and rice she made me for lunch, are making me feel - if not completely better - well enough to function at work. I don't feel like just sitting here hugging myself and staring at the computer anymore, so there's a noticeable improvement.
