Hmm. A whole lot of links, two bolded items, and one in italics. I'm ok, but it sure was a mixed day.

My walk was a short one; maybe 20 minutes, but the weather was nice and I found myself wishing I had time for more.

I have been asked to take over $subsystem from (clueless coworker) S. I really didn't want to do that, but I should have read the writing on the wall months ago. He'll probably be useful somewhere else in the company, but on this project he's been out of his depth since day one. *sighs* That's what I get for designing something tricky and subtle. And for being lousy at supervising. Really lousy.

As I was pulling things together to go home, Naomi called needing to be sung to. I called her back while we were waiting for dinner to finish cooking; it helped her a lot, especially singing along on songs she knows well. It doesn't work all that well over the phone, but...

So... mixed. Very mixed. Today will be better, I think.

The Three Micahs: Pricing (or, the 99 Cent E-Book), Finale (also here on LJ) is the link of the day. Others in the notes as usual.
