i sort of finished my first paper yesterday, and while i'm not pleased with it i know i can always resubmit it with corrections afterwards. i finished it just in time, too, before some of the guys came around and we finally watched iron sky.
iron sky is wonderful - terrible, but wonderful. beautifully made, funny story, and the whiteface thing after my paper about blackface made my head spin. it was enjoyable watching in a group that had important info to contribute; important, like physics in space and finnish politics. i definitely recommend this movie.
between the movie and bed, i found myself highly agitated and sending long mails: i'm dealing with someone working in a direction i've specifically instructed him not to (co-worker is messing up the UX for sorter's project and does not understand why i don't want him to waste time incorporating backwards compatibility for internet explorer) and with someone else who thinks that building a product that allows for future expansion is a deal-breaker (and he has the opinions of friends and family to back him up... opinions about a type of product that does not exist yet and so nobody can know how people will think to use it).
*sigh*
i was woken up early this morning by a phone call from an electric company technician on his way to disconnect my tenant from the grid. that was unpleasant. it took two unanswered phone calls and two long sms'es before he got back to me to apologize and let me know he was sorting it out :S
