I hope you've managed to get your software upgrade by now! It really shouldn't be that hard. Lots of things shouldn't be hard, but they always seem to be...

Have you taken any small step towards creating your portfolio? I worked for an hour last week or the week before on the software project I think is my ticket out of a day job, but nothing since.

My BF aims at everyone (god forbid he sees this site - he insists it is in my imagination. I have offered to film.) He doesn't change course that dramatically (except for the obnoxious tourists), but where you and I would slightly adjust to avoid a crash, he slightly adjusts to cause one - even if the other person is moving out of the way!

I opted not to sign up for my pottery class again and I am still not sure if it was the right decision. Leaving it was awkward - I just kind of left like I always do. Only a couple of people knew I was taking a break. I started wavering because the class may be canceled if not enough people sign up, but last night was a good illustration of one reason why I chose not to: I have to finish all of my work before the session ends. None of my pieces had been fired! I had a three hour class with nothing to do and it's not clear the stuff will be ready to finish before I am officially unenrolled. They have been extremely slow moving things through the pipeline this session.

I am quitting stuff left and right, which is good, I think. I am so tired of some of the volunteer stuff.
