camera manual: TLDR

now that i've unsuccessfully tried to take an interesting photo at night and with the focus on what's BEHIND the sign (i'll post it later), i understand that i really do need to know what all the items on the dial mean :/

today began better. my home pc's just about ready to have things installed on it - although i must thank google that office is no longer on the list of required software ^_^

today i finally "got" one of the 3D images in the book on my SC's desk. i had it for about a minute, comfortably able to blink and move my eyes about, but when i tried for another image my eyes just said "fat chance". that was during a long, boring team meeting of which i was merely an observer. i didn't have anything better to do.

the kid hasn't dealt with his piles, and either way my dealings with piles have been strained to say the least. i can't pretend to be friendly with somebody whose presence invokes extreme contempt.

work: omfg nql gives me a headache. he spent half an hour explaining to me that php classes shouldn't demonstrate any level of encapsulation because php developers like to access everything directly. and he takes any argument as personal, because apparently admitting that you've done something wrong is shameful and humiliating.

the dude has no concept of teamwork, of doing things for the benefit of the company, or of doing things correctly, and i'm finding it harder and harder to keep my cool. i'd at least appreciate an attempt at some level of professionalism.

i've spent hours doing grudwork, mostly double-checking things with him to make sure that they meet with his approval, and thank **** i'm going home soon.

my mom contacted me earlier to inform me that her move to her new apartment has gone sour, and she's staying with tgtbt's mother tonight... i understand why i go through all that shit, but to hear that my mom's dealing with it too really sucks.

i just remembered that i have a job interview tomorrow morning. i'd enjoy it a lot more if i had some idea of how relevant it is, because the length of the rest of my service is still anyone's guess :(

my response to nystire after reading this: yes. i think i'd be more annoyed that my girlfriend didn't find me as entertaining as something... more furry.
