Random e-mail rant. Skip if you tire of hearing my whinging cries for cosmic justice.

Kinda on an adrenaline high. Just finished a 93-page paper earlier today, got another 4-6 pages to go tonight for a test review, and two presentations to prepare and deliver in the next two days.

Thank goodness my New Products teammates are awesome. Everytime we’ve had something come up this semester, the group has pulled through. Whoever’s been busy, the rest of us pick up the slack and tell him, “Hey, it’s cool. Take care of your business.”

This weekend, it was my turn to fall down, and they picked me up in stride. So I got to finish my paper tonight while they work on the presentation PPT. I’ll review it tomorrow after my first presentation, and deliver it on Tuesday.

I got nothin’ bad and all the world to say of them. :)

Those who can’t get enough of me can go on to read the environment / life / rampant consumerism rant in my extended entry. Go on, shoo. Go do something useful with your evening — like polish your grandma’s tea service set.

Though life sucks, we’re momentarily not dead. So it gives that dame Luck plenty of chances yet to kick us while we’re down.

We strive to do all we can, and that’s all we can do.

We can’t be all things to all people.

So why feel bad when we have to say no can do?

It’s not so hard to say no.

I’d been trucking along in high gear ever since 2 in the p.m. Knocking out tasks at work, dialing digits, e-mailing teammates on a class project.
