Work

Yeah, I know, I never talk about work much. Hopefully things are going to go my way, but the way the corporate world works, I highly doubt it.

So I got a lot done in my short week (remember the damn cold thing?). I finished 2 projects and am ready to get it all put together at the beginning of next week. I took over the maintenance of an internal analysis tool since my coworker decided to move over to system integration. Probably got tired of the constant hallway meetings and visits to the cube.

Anyway, we have a new release coming up with a new algorithm framework, which I also worked on and had to update for the new scripts, and so I had to update the tool and integrate both of them. I love days like today because it flew like no tomorrow.

I really do enjoy programming when it is a language I am very familiar with, in this case it was VB and MATLAB while touching a bit in C++, but just a bit. Anyway, it is fun to work on a team with intelligent people, then again management always likes to meddle so we'll see what happens next week...

So anyway, I'm trying to negotiate a promotion (it has been 3 years) since I am already doing the job of the next level anyways. Just getting money out of the tight labor bosses is another story altogether. Wish me luck. :)

Hopefully they don't realize how much I hate corporations and I am only loyal as far as they pay me, which is sad really, because I would love to work on things that can really help people rather then just pets of rich people.

Ok, off to jam, wish me luck with that too! :)
