Oh good lord, that was 4 completely content-free posts in a row. Yikes.

Finished up at work, dumped everything on Gia (there is very little going on at present). Wrote up a whole long email, with examples, about exporting XML from FileMaker and possibly turning it into other XML that our LDE could read, which would be a Good Thing. (I'm about the last person who should be trusted with this research, given how little I know about the topic, but I think I gave us a starting point.) I'd forgotten how much fun it is to get my teeth properly into researching something, especially when there's an actual goal in mind and it's not just mindless information-gathering. How sad is that? Must give myself more specific projects like that in future.

Just have to pick up my photocopies for Toronto Trek, pack, tidy up at home, maybe do a load of laundry and I'm all set. Oh baby. There's bound to be a ton of stuff I've forgotten but I don't really care at this point. I'm done! I'm on vacation!

Vacation? Again?

I know you work hard, but .....

Yes indeed. I know you California types don't care particularly, but it's summer! I guess I haven't mentioned my 150 hours of overtime lately. Or our mandatory 2 weeks unpaid leave last Christmas. Or my 3 weeks vacation owing this year (Scotland used up some of last year's vacation).

Yep, vacation... again...

I'm just messing with you, but like I said, I know you work hard. 150 hours of overtime is absurd though. I hope you're getting some kind of extra something for that. Hope you enjoy your time off to the fullest degree possible.

:D Thanks! I shall. (As soon as I pack and wash my pile of dishes so there isn't a new civilization in my sink by the time I get back, that is...)

No extra something, but time off in lieu is fine by me!

YAY!

Have fun and don't you OR crankygrrl get too stressed! You are supposed to ENJOY this. It is LEISURE time. Don't forget that. ;)

fun? leisure? Oh, yes. I remember.

Seriously though, thanks for the reminder. Sometimes I forget that I'm not responsible for everything in the whole world.

Regular breaks for EVERYONE at the con. Including me!
