time changes everything
see, i haven’t posted in a while because i was planning on putting together a very large, in depth synopsis of my last major project at work. we spent the better part of the last two months putting together a ship that was about 8 feet long and 2 feet wide. with the amount of work that went into it and the transformation from plexiglass ribs to fully painted hull, i had imagined that i would post a long, detailed story of how it all went together complete with pictures at every stage.
now that it’s over, i really just don’t feel like doing it. :) the project just doesn’t seem as groundbreaking to me as it was when i started it. it was fun and i was very pleased with the end result but the way this job works, as soon as one fascinating model is done, there is another one right behind it to be completed.
besides, if i posted everytime i worked on a cool model, we would all get tired of it.
short story is i still love my job and my desk is clean again.
in other happenings, freckles is coming out here to see me in a few days and i couldn’t be more excited! i don’t have a detailed schedule of what were going to be doing but there is a small list of things that must be accomplished while she is here. on that list is discussing a friend of hers she is trying to hook me up with. we also have to find sushi somewhere, watch the matrix, get some friends episodes in, show her my work, stay up late, and sleep in. it’s going to be an awesome weekend. 
i had my 90 day review at work a couple of weeks ago. anyone who knows me knows that i am very self critical. the positives that come out of that are quality work and the urge to achieve perfection in my tasks. the negatives are that i always doubt the end result of things i do and i live in fear that what i do isn’t good enough for the people who make such judgements. i feel that i am an asset at my workplace though. i still feel like i make too many mistakes and work too slow but i am confident that i will grow out of those as time goes on. i also believe that i have had a positive influence on the environment there. while trying not to sound big-headed, i have brought an enthusiasm to the place that hasn’t been there in a while from what i can tell. i have figured out that people seem to shy away from some of the dirtier, more involved projects and i have been giddy with joy when i get them.
i just lost my train of thought. it’s 1:06 in the morning and i’m kind of tired but i’m waiting for these dvd’s to finish burning.
