i'm not sure why i'm still employed... i never accomplish anything and
i'm not good at this work stuff. i mean, in reality i'm good at this
but,,,
the code i wrote over the past month has come back from testing.
naturally, it's full of crashes and coredumps, and probably can't be
made to work at all. figures. my coworker who was working on the
unit testing for it apparently spent the entire month fucking around
and now i have to write the unit tests. he's one of my favorite
coworkers, but still.
and the project is actually not anything worth doing ... it's for
compliance with some off-the-wall interpretation of a regulation on
protocol neutrality, pushed solely by a vp who's been reassigned to
another area. pretty much everyone agrees that it's bogus, but
because this vp was able to push it to the "scoped and included in a
release" phase before being reassigned, we can't stop working on it.
i'm extremely pleased about this whole situation.
my favorite shirt is wearing out and i don't know what i'll do to
replace it.
i hear all the time that cross-sex hormones change body fat
distribution, but more effectively when you gain weight than when you
lose it or maintain it. i also hear about many people who gain weight
after starting HRT that get it in the wrong places.
i've also heard that fat cells don't go away when you lose fat; they
only deflate in-place.
hypothesis: hrt is more effective at affecting the placement of new
fat cells than it is at selectively filling existing ones.
if this is true, then someone who's gained-and-lost very weight before
HRT will have more satisfying results by gaining weight on HRT. i'm
tempted to try it myself, because my body hasn't ever had much more
fat than it does now, but i don't really gain weight, like, ... at
all. so it's moot. an interesting thought though.
someone has been tagging the neighborhood around my work as "scrum :)"
and it's fucking me right up.
