At the moment, I'm feeling like the Little Red Hen. It's not one facet of my life causing me to feel this way; it's my whole life. At times, I feel like no one wants to help me. I'm also feeling like no matter what I do, someone always has a problem with it. I feel like telling everyone to piss off. If you don't like it, do it yourself. I'm trying my hardest to get things done. Now, I have gotten a few thank yous for things done, but they seem few and far in between these days. I'm tired of me having to be the flexible person. Someone flex for me, once.

I have spent 2 hours trying to install a trial version of the latest Flash program. It should not take me that long. I need Flash for a part of my Senior Project. I have to edit a part of the project because it's not colorful enough. I'm not the best graphics designer person. I wouldn't be bothered by it, except the situtation of the Flash is getting to me. Students don't have $2,000.00 for the software we're expected to know and use for our upper-level classes. I was lucky I spent $400.00 on Dreamweaver. I figured it was the best bargain of them all. Once I get this POS installed, I'll feel better once I get this work done.

I did get something done that needed to be done. I got the membership management infterface done for ACM on Friday. It's not chock full of features, but it allows one to add, edit, e-mail, and list members. I did get a thank you from the person that needs it when I finished it. I plan on showing it to my Senior Project advisor this upcoming week. I want him to see that I have learned things for my project over the summer, and I did put them into production. With the way my schedule is this semester, I can spent my Fridays on coding and finishing the project. The ACM thing is my code from the work I've done so far on Senior Project. Only fair to take it back for Senior Project. The sad thing is while it's going to be functional, it's not going to look too pretty. Like I said, I'm not a graphical person.

The other day, I was looking over Wikipedia. I found an entry on behind the sofa. While it's British slang, I can relate to it! When I was younger, I would literally hide behind the sofa when The Joker's Wild or The Incredible Hulk came on TV. Glad to see I'm not alone! Something about that couch was comforting.

Now back to work.
