Accomplishment

Do you recall that sense of accomplishment that I noted in a previous post? Well, I feel that it can get a little over-shadowed when the only feeling left after a job is the "I'm glad that's finally over" spout of passing anger and aggression. It's amazing how easy a job is with the proper tools, and how difficult it can be when you lack them. There must be some sort of device I am not aware of that crimps these little slide on connectors I had to use to fix my break light switch, though it seems to me that it couldn't possibly be that far removed from a set of pliers. Thinking like that is apparently counter-productive, and let me to a world of disappointment as I found it completely beyond my scope to call up the massive amount of physical strength do what I was CERTAIN would be an easy maneuver. As it was not such, I struggled with that path until completely fed up, and opted to put my old knowledge to use and just solder the connector to another wire, which I in turn soldered to the culprit wire. Finally, the deed is done, and my lights operate once more. So, maybe I can be a little proud that I solved the problem, but nearly as proud as I would have been if I could have done it all in an hour after having located said problem. Maybe that luxury only comes with years of experience.

There is little more I can set aside to sum up my day, beside the fact that I've been playing around with IMVU at the request of a friend. It's an interesting little program, and a very novel idea. I wish it were a little less clumsy, though. But I don't suppose you can ask for too much just yet. It seems like an advanced form of Gaia Online if you ask me.

I promised a little details on the events last night. I went to a bonfire and saw some friends, but regrettably met no one new, which is one of the things that I'm always hoping to do at a party. I love meeting new people, seeing new faces, unraveling new mysteries. That, and these fellows parties are always the same, winding up with them playing a game known as "Beer Pong" which you're free to Google if you want to know more about it - I'm not going to tell you, because I hate it.

Now, I've some work to tend to, and I haven't cooked anything worthwhile lately. I baked some potatoes a few days ago following this recipe, and those turned out well, and in a bout of laziness I combined a bunch of cans of beans and Rotel to make some manner of chili concoction that I could glorify, but will refrain from at the moment. I don't really know what's up next on the menu, but I haven't made any pizza in a while, and I'm starting to get a craving for that. So, next time : Pizza, or a Surprise! Or Surprise Pizza!
