OMG Mpittened at work!?!!

[nyankoframe]

No, I'm not literally mpittened at work unless, that is, I bring along nyankopitten and promote it to mpitten to mpitten myself with, but I certainly feel like that today in particular.

The week since I came back has been alternately frustrating, tiring and exciting. It's frustrating because I keep running into limitations (some of which are meaningless and others which are crippling) of the tools that I use to develop these work items; tiring because I pretty much have to write everything from scratch since there isn't anything that previously exists which is also largely because things were in constant flux until very recently and also because there are hard/immovable deadlines for the work (which a lot of other things are also riding on); and exciting because for each piece of the overall project that I do finish (I've done about 5 or 6 pieces so far, and a colleague on my team's done about 4 or 5 other important pieces) I can put them together and watch things take shape (although they still have to be tested and debugged, which invariably results in more frustration, hair falling out and other things including a tendency to be snappish sometimes...).

At the same time, I started my driving lessons again today with the same instructor that I'd taken lessons with previously. It was pretty fun and I remembered most of the things from the last time, although there was a minor scare when the car went over the curb after I made a right turn and accelerated a little too fast, which I also blame on the car having a very twitchy accelerator pedal. But at least nothing bad happened and hopefully nothing will on Friday, when my next lesson is. ^^;;

And since wao has been complaining a lot about cat pictures, here's one to make her be quiet satisfied.



I haven't forgotten about my trip holiday report, BTW. XD

Edit: I left work at 11:00 pm, and I'm cycling home now, to come back tomorrow and continue working.

ZOMG those cats are like PILLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS ESPECIALLY THE ONE ON THE LEFT :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
AND IT HAS ITS EYES CLOSED AND IT'S SO CUTE I COULD JUST SLEEP NEXT TO IT AND STROKE IT AND CUDDLE IT BECAUSE OF :3 :3 :3 :3 BALL OF CUTE FUR!!!!1 AND THE OTHER ONE IS SO ELEGANT-LOOKING AND CURLED UP AND THEY BOTH LOOK SO GOOD TOGETHER!1!!!

Evidently I haven't had enough CAT recently.

Also good luck with work - so am I supposed to understand you think that the people there haven't got a lot of the right foundational structures and still try to carry on while you're tearing out your hair and going "NO! That's not how you do it!!"? Please remember to mpitten yourself (or equivalent) every now and then to reduce stress levels :(

Also, teh layout change? Why is teh font so small.

They remind me of the yin-yang symbol when they're together, especially in this picture. :D

I was playing around with the layout yesterday at work and was trying to find a good one, I don't think this is it (so I'll be changing it to something else)...

Actually, the situation at work is more akin to people doing things manually (which takes up a significant amount of time - for example, 2 weeks) and I'm supposed to automate that process so that it ends up taking something like 5 days. However, we don't have any automation to start with because everything (the requirements, the actual product we're working on, etc.) kept changing until a few weeks ago.

Thanks! I hope your work isn't giving you problems either. ^^;;

[nyankoframe.livejournal.com]

I think pretty much everyone is, especially with certain deadlines that are coming up quite soon. ^^;;;

[nyankoframe.livejournal.com]

Thanks! (And yes, I agree they look so cute! ^_^) Hope your work is going well and you don't have evil deadlines! ^^;;

[nakaemi.livejournal.com]

Not with work, thank God! Only deadlines are with classes, especially the advanced research course that has me really stressed. ^^;;
