I think maybe I complain about things too much. I don't see myself as the sort of person who's bitching and moaning all the time, but if I really pay attention to all the things coming out of my mouth in a given day, a lot of it is negative. I'm going to try to go a full month without complaining about anything and see how that affects my outlook ( Read more... )

My left ear is clicking in time to my heartbeat. It is driving me crazy.

(Short drive, I know.)

So, I'm off to Portland for my annual site-seeing/family-visiting/technical-conference-attending trip in a couple days. RailsConf is out there again this year, so my company is paying for the plane ticket and hotel during the conference, and I've taken an extra week from the 21st to the 28th as personal time ( Read more... )

...for once. For all my bitching and moaning when it gets too warm (stay tuned!), Georgia really is amazingly beautiful for a few weeks in the spring and fall.
