DecidingEvery decision is liberating, even if it leads to disaster. Otherwise, why do so many people walk upright and with open eyes into their misfortune? |

I have some decisions to make. I really like the new work I've been doing on the SDK. I was talking to Jerry, my surrogate manager (his term) about this Tuesday evening. I'm going to be taking on the website for the larger team, and when things slow down in a little while, transforming it and merging the website for my immediate team with it. So how will my time be allocated? How to divide the SDK tasks and share them with a new program manager who has joined us on the SDK team? This may be difficult; I've already realized that I wish that I owned all the samples, not sharing ownership with someone from another team. So now I'll need to give some of that up, perhaps. Luckily, Jerry has projects in mind that hadn't been practical while his team was running as fast as it could, but might be possible with the added bandwidth from the new person.
I may feel more comfortable with this new webmastering task as I get familiar with the site. I'll have a better idea of how much time it takes, as well.

My former boyfriend Jason seems to be back on the track of writing his Rants. (Look! new pictures of him!) He talks about his struggles to write in his latest rant. It does seem strange that so many of the men I've dated in the past year have been writers or aspiring writers. I don't put that as a requirement in any personal ads, though I do mention what I like to read.

The evil caramels I bought the other day succeeded in yanking off part of a tooth this morning, one that was almost completly reconstructed of amalgam already. It seems very likely that I'll have to have a crown. Rats! It doesn't hurt right now, but it feels as if it might at any moment, and I must wait to Tuesday to have it looked at by the dentist.
