I love powerful rock ballads from the 80s. They really put me in a mood. :D I don't really like 80s tunes, otherwise.
Anyway, work is getting BUSY, and have I done anything? No. We have about 3 products coming out all around the same time *and* the company wants us to follow the Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF). We tried the Rational Unified Process (RUP) before, which is what I learned in school and very used to. However, that process didn't stick. Now we have to use MSF. I have not committed the phases and stuff to memory, so I am kind of lost. It's like RUP in an MS way. Lame.
Anyhow, documentation and programming are supposed to be done in conjunction. I don't want to do it this way because I always end up having to change my work. I would prefer to wait until something is in testing because at least it would require much less re-work. Now if we were really following MSF, I could actually trust to start documenting earlier because there should be smaller chunks of work. Right now, we have new features being put into service packs.
Welcome to the world of software development.
I have tentative plans with the G Man on Saturday. We'll see if they pan out. I can't help but compare him to the P Man, and expect them be alike in the bad ways. Birds of a feather flock together, but the G Man has expressed that he and the P Man are not that much alike.
I wish I had given more details about Brendan and our first date. I need to email him back, but maybe he doesn't want to pursue anything. Even though he asked me if I wanted to get together again and I said yes, nothing's come of it. I think I have forgotten a lot about him.
But the G Man...he doesn't drink alcohol (like me) or coffee (like me), likes to dine out (like me), takes care of his body and health (like me). Anyway, there is enough I know about him to make me want to know more, and I don't think I've seen him since the beginning of January.

Let's hope the G man is nothing like the P man... Good luck with Saturday!
