Stuck in the sand
Apr. 20th, 2005 02:03 pmI had hoped that today was going to be the day I knocked my todo list on the head and got a chance to get back to some vaguely speculative blue skies stuff, but instead I seem to have got stuck in the tedious quagmire of support: can you fix the accounting; can you sort out totalview; can you write yet another baroque check to watch for an error that only happens once in a blue moon due to user incompetence but in the meantime burns up yet more CPU; can you sort out which compiler we should be recommend to the users; can you write a bushel basket of documentation on the most obscure of NFS's misfeatures; can you proof read some docs; can you write a paper for a conference in May; can you...
For some reason, I'm filled with existential despair and I can't even summon up enough effort to even pretend to show an interest in any of it. Maybe things will look brighter once I've been to lunch and done the crossword.
"Yeah I am going down to nowhere
Oh its childsplay
We are turning up our collars
We are hijacking the day
And you can tell me about your journeys
You can tell me all your dreams
But nothing comes close
To the nowhere that I've seen"
