Man, that is so not the kind of thing I wanted to see when I peeked in here. I've been there far too recently, and it totally sucks. I wish I had something to say, but words just can't help this kind of thing. Hang in there.

I cannot hardly believe I am saying it, but EMACS indeed. There was a time, not too long ago, that I would kill any process that was taking more memory than EMACS because there had to be something terribly wrong with any process taking that much memory. Now, EMACS takes seemingly no memory and runs really fast. Beside, there was a new release, after 6 short years. What's not to like? EMACS - The first Portable OS / virtual machine ELISP - The first run-anywhere computer language. Runs anywhere there is EMACS.

Well, I stayed home sick today. The flu shot may NOT have been the culprit. I checked my Outlook web access a couple times today, and it appears that half my team was out sick. I may have just been the canary. Feeling better now, but really cruddy this AM.

This allowed me to spend six hours going through 10 hours of mandatory Army briefings today. :-)

OK, actually, No-code tech with a CSCE for element 3. :-)
Hopefully, element 4 and both upgrades end of next month.

Then I'll start to learn the code. Honest. :-P

Oh, and after two solid nights of sleep, I actually got up in the general vicinity of my alarm (first try!) and went jogging for 2 miles. I hate running, btw. With a deep and abiding passion.

I mentioned a while ago that I had been selected to be one of the founding members of a new group at work. Well, found out Friday that I will FINALLY be moving to that group as of the beginning of Feb. Of course, they AREN'T going to move me to a cubicle by the window, but it looks like my obnoxious coworker will be moved out of the current cubicle (other cube-mate is also founding member of the group, and not obnoxious). Same pay,
