Run Ragged 2.
The weekend was hectic. More cleaning of house and Baby bottoms than I care to think about. Both myself and LSW both think that Little Miss is Ill. The poo is green and she’s been really clingy. Not that I’m complaining, there is nothing better than the feeling of your baby being glad to see you.
We’ve got her onto solids. Baby Rice in-fact. She can’t get enough of it. She grabs the spoon and shoves it into her mouth and smiles. She’s now five months old. How little time has passed since she arrived has really hit me. It feels like years. LSW is now fretting about going back to work.
On the subject of work, we’ve got two weeks of full work before we’re off for Christmas. I’ve got some new work to deal with, but nothing too taxing, good job too because I need things to be little bit easier. There seems to be some blood letting upstairs. Twenty people have been ‘let go’ because they have the wrong skill set.
Financially we made it though this month, with about 20p spare. Things will be easier next month because the car’s paid off.
I’ve been getting congratulations from the folk who’ve read the story. It’s strange really, getting “I was moved to tears” messages off people you don’t know. Still, it does the ego good.
There has been a lot of progress on the game, One final push and I’ll have the coding out of the way. Then the real trouble starts. Testing. The most difficult part of any computer project is testing it so it doesn’t fall over.
As a programmer, if you do miss a really obvious bug because you didn’t test things properly, That’s like someone shouting from the highest tower, with a megaphone big enough for everyone in the world to hear that “You can’t program Sh*t”
