workday haiku

a couple of thoughts from my workday, in haiku form:

micromanagement
just change that one thing.
and that thing. and that thing too.
now it looks so great.

bad ideas
do you make them good
or prove how awful they are?
that is the question.

and then another thought, after getting a new high score of 108k in bejeweled blitz:

accomplishment
i make things pretty
but break for games. new high score!
that’s when i take pride.

while you were working

so what if zune only has a four percent market share. so what if the zune software only works with windows. so what if i have an iphone, an ipod nano and a macbook air instead of their microsoft counterparts. this is way cool, and i work with the people who make it happen.

working. sort of.

i’ve reentered the working world, and it’s about time too. after all, summer couldn’t last. the days are shortening and the rain is less than a month away. and i would be focusing on my work, if only microsoft could get windows installed on the machine they’ve supplied me. it really is deliciously ironic.

honestly though, there’s more silver lining than cloud. every day that the “cannot proceed” error plagues the windows installation means an afternoon off for me. and with weather like this, it really could not get any better.
