Monday morning after a pre-season hockey game. Not everything hurts (although the big toe joint is a bit iffy).
I played pretty well, and it was a surprisingly nice opposing team - the teams in the pre-season are usually rather bitchy, but they were on their best behaviour. Ooh, and I scored the one goal in the game! (Okay, I touched it, several opponents touched it, it slid in behind the goalie. I'll take it.)
--
I'm kicking myself over an email I sent. I'm not sure that my chosen means of mentally dealing with it ("the people who received it don't think well of me in the first place, so it can't get any worse") is helpful, but it's all I have.
--
The last chapter of sedoretu has been like pulling teeth. But Natasha finally spit her piece out. Bucky is halfway through. And then it's just Maria, who's hard to work around with the feelings, but I'll get her there.

The thing I'm working on right now is weird. I was given example code in an existing program and asked to make it work for another program.
1. The example code has a syntax error.
2. Even once the syntax error is cleared, the example code is requesting something, getting back a response, and parsing the response, but the answer we're parsing doesn't seem to change whether the response says "yes, this is valid" or "no it's not valid".
3. The response that we're getting back does not provide the information that we were looking for in submitting the request.
And now I have to ask the guy (senior analyst, tech lead) who put the code in what he thinks it does, and how he tested it. And, let's be frank: this is unlikely to end well.

Why is it Monday? Ugh.
