So I know part of why I make the medium-sized bucks is ability to take a loosely-defined goal and turn in into solid achievable tasks. (Can you tell it's performance-review season?) But I gotta say, after a long night at work, it is sort of relieving to come home and face a clear task with obvious measurable completion.

Case in point: I came home tonight and took out the trash. It took like five minutes and it's clear that I really knocked that task out of the park. Kind of satisfying. That trash will never ever be back to haunt me again. On the other hand, the really stupid layout problems that I was fruitlessly chasing at work tonight (and pretty much all last week) -- I'm not sure if I solved them in the correct fashion, and I can pretty much guarantee that I haven't seen the last of them. Gaaah.

On the other hand, the IE bugs don't smell bad. (Although some of my solutions are distinctly fishy.)

Life is good. Work is good, though sometimes stressful. I love the choirs I'm in, though I am only going to stay in one of them (Seattle Women's Chorus) going forward because I would like to replace my structured extracurriculars (some of them, at least) with things like "cooking", "reading", "sleeping", and "unstructured social interaction". And maybe "dating", but that's kind of crazy man I don't know.
