Ugh...

Blech. What a revolting way to spend a weekend. I'm now reading - for the second time this weekend, no less - nearly 150 pages of network security testing methodology for a course that my place of employment is sending me to this week. Five days, 9 to 5, of network security training. Ugh. I am in *so* far over my head with this... It's been *years* since I last worked with Javascript or C/C+ and almost as long since I did any perl scripting and this documentation is absolutely *loaded* with references to all of the above. I am Dead Meat. :P

And of course, they didn't send me the stuff for the course until late Friday afternoon. *&^%$#@!

So... I have more website updates that need to be done - maybe tomorrow night, depending on whether I have "homework" and on whether I can stand to look at a computer by the end of the day. I accomplished virtually nothing this weekend in terms of writing. What little I did accomplish was on a plot bunny picked at random from my file of the little beggars. I worked on that when I needed a break from the stupid stinking networking reading. I couldn't concentrate enough to work on anything that's part of a larger work; it's too hard to keep the characters consistent. Whether or not the plot bunny is even salvageable remains to be seen.

I also owe e-mail and LJ responses to a whole slew of people. Sorry folks, I will *try* to dig my way through the pile as I find time but this is going to be a thoroughly miserable week, I'm afraid.

RL sucks.

RL sucks.

::huggles:: It sure does, dearie. And I have insomnia the ONE NIGHT that I'm so tired I'm about to cry. ::sighs:: I guess I should go write that story that's been pouncing around my brain...1x5...smutty...Maybe it'll make me fall asleep. ::shrugs:: Worth a try.

Night. ^^

Ick, it really does sound like you're going to have a horrible week. I hope it passes quickly, and that it doesn't stress you too much. *hugs*

Thanks. The first day wasn't quite as bad as I feared but then half of it was spent discussing the legalities of hacking to test network security rather than spending the entire day on the computers. Still ended up with a nasty headache so I don't think I'm going to get anything much accomplished tonight... *sighs*

What generally happens to me is that I'll be so tired my eyes keep drifting shut while I'm in front of the computer then by the time I shut everything down, let the dog out for the last time, get ready for bed, let the dog back in, and crawl in bed - I'm wide awake again. :P
