Today I'm working from home, and I need to divert all my energies to working on an outbound interace in SAP that needs to be reworked.

I remember a training seminar from years back where we were asked "If you were a car, what kind of car would you be?"

If SAP were a car, it would be a BMW X3, with hundreds of primer marks all over it where the dings and dents have been covered up. The Owner's manual would be written in german. The dashboard, steering wheel and gearshift would have been removed and replaced with instruments more commonly found in a Boeing 747. Oh, and when you turn the indicators on, the transmission slips into first gear. But the sales brochure looks really awesome!

If I were a car, what kind of car would I be? Hmmm. I guess I would be a Toyota Solara (which is basically a Coupe version of a Camry). With leather seats and simple controls, but with furry dice and strange bumper stickers plastered all over it. Oh and I would need to be serviced regularly to keep me purring. Preferably by the same mechanic each time. I like my mechanic ;>

I was pretty unhappy last night. I think partly due to lack of sleep, partly due to being a little overwhelmed. A lot of the things that were hobbies have become work. And now I have less things that I enjoy doing, and more things I have to do. That kind of sucks, doesn't it?

I have to keep remembering that however unhappy I get on occasion, I am several orders of magnitude better off than a lot of people out there.

I did get the site fixed, and I got the person who had been putting up the images to take them down, and so that's good. I'd hate to lose artists because their work was being bandied around the net without so much as a by-your-leave.

Here is a list of things I need to work on in my personal life in the next few days:
