"Improving one's style means improving one's ideas, and nothing else. He who does not at once concede this can never be convinced of the point."

Friedrich Nietzsche , Human, All Too Human

deflated

Oh, I'm not really down. In fact, I feel pretty good. It's funny how potentially career-limiting moves can sometimes do that.

So, I went to work. Some meetings and phone calls. Some actual work. Mom called with bizarre computer tales. I finally concluded that an e-mail had been returned. After work I stopped by to help her.

FFP made asparagus and bacon sandwiches. They were very good. Used fresh asparagus. SuRu joined us for supper and then she and I took the dogs for a short walk.

FFP discovered that when he typed 'Forrest Preece' into the Lycos multimedia site 137 random pictures showed up from our WEB site. Whoa. The WEB is a weird, weird place. There are so many ways to get places. I typed in my company name to this thing. I saw an image of what looked like a letter. Linked to a WEB page showing 'what customers are saying about us' from some defunct research company. (But of course their WEB stuff is still floating around.) And here is this letter with a couple of people's signatures.

I don't have much to say today. Just didn't do that much that I can talk about. I'm really in a pretty good mood. Tomorrow is Friday, I'm ready for a weekend. OK, OK, it was only a four-day week and I frittered away one work day with blurry vision and a ridiculous meeting.

I was even tempted to do one of those one year ago things that journals do. But the entry was so dull and I had poison ivy and I don't like to be reminded of it. Anyway I think I'll eschew one year ago entries until I have done it one year without missing any days. And that's many months away.
