it's friday, and about damn time, too.

this week at work has been pretty slow for me; i'm working on a big project, but this week has been the time when other people are working like fiends to get some things set up, and i can't really do anything until they do. so i have been trying to figure out where it was that i left my motivation. (perhaps it's under the sofa. you think?)

plus, i am feeling very disconnected from my regular team; there were about three or four very exciting problems going on around here yesterday, and i didn't even know about them until after lunch, when usually (when i'm not off on projects) i'm hipdeep in the exciting stuff. one of the reasons why i love my job is not only the instant gratification of fixing things for people, but the adrenaline rush when something big is going on.
