  @ Understanding the SSL security breach, preparing for the next one
  & suddenly realized I'd scheduled my Cirque tickets for YD's birthday.  OOPS!
    ! embarrassed, stupid.  Not very surprised at my stupidity.
    ( note that the tickets were bought on 2/27; Drama was 2/06.  Maybe. )
  * remember to take backpack to work
  * do a couple more emo worksheets
  * warn Colleen about Cirque tomorrow; plan on dinner out Sat.

    discussion of shame, guilt, self-image, and self-esteem

    go out for YD's birthday on Monday
  )

  ( As it turns out, the IBF has tomorrow off, and the YD is most upset with
    me for having forgotten her birthday.  So... I'm an idiot.  I knew that.
    And Colleen hadn't told her, though I'd assumed she had.

To be brief, not a whole lot. Was thoroughly embarrassed by the sudden realization that I'd scheduled my Cirque du Soleil ticket for the evening of the Younger Daughter's birthday. (I believe she ended up spending it with friends and BF, but still...) Considerable wailing and gnashing of teeth on the YD's part, but then she is studying acting.

It was also the starting-place for some good discussion of shame, guilt, self-esteem, and self-image. So not so much of an ill wind as it could have been.

Oh, yes. Work. Came back from Seattle Tuesday morning to find that I'd been moved once again, to code-review and maybe help fix the project with the currently-squeakiest wheel. I didn't mind nearly as much as the last time -- I seem to have reframed my job as "head troubleshooter and Old Guy Who Knows (something about) Everything." Heh. They're going to have fun trying to replace me when I go back to research.

That, or I'm now living at a stress level that makes it hard to notice the difference.

A few links under the cut, as usual.
