Joe's New Blog

Nothing special, this is just my third effort at writing a blog about my life and what goes on in it: Hobbies, cooking, work, maybe the occasional book or DVD review, and so forth. Nothing really noteworthy, but this is sort of a little subset of my world...

Another weekend, and more work to do...

I got as much documentation and such done on the contracts database while I was at work yesterday, but it's still not what I'd consider a useable application. And I really need it to be in production by the very early part of this coming week, which means it's time to get my ass in highest possible gear this weekend and get the rest of it finished.

When I got home last night, I really wasn't feeling like working, so I went upstairs and put up one of the girlfriend's shelves in her room. She hasn't gone upstairs and seen it yet, and I'm hoping that she doesn't before she goes to work, so I can have both of them put up by the time she gets home. Unfortunately, they're not into solid wood, so I don't think they're going to be incredibly sturdy. Hopefully they'll be enough to hold what she wants, though, and if not, I'll put some toggle bolts into them to hold them up better at a later point. Actually, if I have any toggle bolts that will work, I might do that at least to the top shelf once I get around to putting it up.

Aside from putting up the one shelf and checking the mail (all junk), I really didn't accomplish much of anything with the evening. I watched a show about ancient Egypt, and then the girlfriend came out and wanted to watch her new episode of Battlestar Galactica, so I watched that with her. While watching the show, I also sorted through a couple of boxes of stuff that I'd brought home from the storage unit a while back. The stuff has been sitting down in the living room, and I know that she's a bit frustrated with that, so I figured I'd try to get some of it put away, or at least sort out the crap that I should just throw out or recycle. Of course, right at the moment, it looks even worse than it did before I started, because I have stacks of stuff to get recycled, and sorted stacks of stuff to be brought upstairs. Hopefully I'll get most of it put away, somewhere, today while she's at work. In addition to hanging the shelf, emptying the dishwasher, and probably going off to get cat food, a few groceries, and maybe some wire so I can hang the mirror over the fireplace.

And, to make it even less likely that I'll get shit done today, there's a Stars game on at two this afternoon, and I'm sure I'll wind up watching that. I'm such a useless lump of shit...
