Babblings from a Thursday-phobic person

selenayTuesday sucked beyond the telling of it, so I won't divulge further than that. Yesterday improved slightly and I managed to figure out how to create audiobook files for my iPod as well as getting some French prep done so it was fairly productive.
Today started out with a disaster before I'd even taken off my coat (I think you'll agree that it was impressive in it's rapidity) so it's living up to the reputation of Thursdays. I have hopes that the day will improve from now, as the biggest disaster is out of the way.
The Big Bad Project is progressing surprisingly well now that I've actually managed to grab a few hours yesterday to do some actual work on it. And I've got the whole of the day on it today. I'm hopeful that I'll have all data sources sorted and be working on the clever coding to produce the reports from it by the end of the day. Which means that my aim of having it finished by tomorrow evening in order to test it on Monday may possibly be a realistic plan. Go me :-)
According my mid-year review, I am reliable, quick and intelligent. But occasionally defensive and aggresive. And my ability to cope with stress and pressure has decreased in recent weeks. So I need to learn to take a deep breath before expressing my immediate reaction to an idea and moderate the manner in which I express that reaction. Huh. But at least I'm overall doing fairly well and there is hope that I'll have a passing grade at the end of the year.
And hey, I'm going on holiday in nine days! To fantastic, glorious Canada!
