Sureal Viscosity

One of my frustrations at being here today is revealed...

I got a call to fix a problem someone was having with an import/export between our grading software and our administration/report card software (no, they aren't linked and yes I do think it's silly and no, I don't have three hands.), which I didn't think it was necessarily likely I would be able to fix quickly. So what I did was observe that it seemed to export some of the grades fine, then I went and got a copy of SysInternals' Filemon, and figured out which file it was dying on, deduced that it was dying because it was an old file with an improper extension, so I gave it a different extension, and the stuff started working.

What's the frustration? I can't explain to anyone here how cool that was, or how I did it without spending minutes explaining what Filemon is and why I could figure out what was going on from the output of the various programs. before hand.

But, that's ok. I survive if that's my only frustration.

I'm going to play cranium with some people. Good and bad. I don't know why I do this.

I played volleyball last night and lost my temper at myself because I was playing so bad. I about just walked off. I am frustrated because I had been keeping my cool even when I was playing poorly at things, but sometimes I just snap. At least I didn't yell or anything.
