Off and running
Monday, September 14th, 2009I’m over committed again.
The level of academics is seriously higher here at IIT than at NEIU. I need to be spending so many more hours studding. I should be so much more focused on my classes.
My first contract project for NorthShore is getting fumbled. Just setting up my home pc became a big deal. I thought it would take a few hours: defrag the hard drive, install some software, nothing major. Instead, it took so long that I was almost to my deadline when I began doing real work. I few quirks in the presentation and the JavaScript had me start from scratch a few times doubling or tripling the amount of work I had anticipated. Then when I thought I had everything finally finished I go to present it and the very first page has JavaScript errors. It was terribly embarrassing sitting next to Teddy and finding out it was in production and broken after all that work, including an all-nighter last Wednesday.
The second bathroom still isn’t finished. This project I want to complete more than anything else. It’s been months and I’m sick of getting burned in the shower every times someone else turns on a faucet. Merrie has been understanding because of everything going on but I know she’s sick of having a huge section of the house closed off.
