Not sure my heart can stand the strain

We actually have builds to test today. There were problems with them, but they got FIXED. And we have tests IN PROGRESS. RIGHT NOW. Gosh, this whole doing actual work thing? A girl could get used to this, at least if her contract wasn't about to run out. This is not to say I haven't had some time on my hands today, though. In between waiting for build issues to get fixed, I've been slowly whittling away at my LJ comments backlog. So this is why some of you fine folks are getting answers to stuff that's several weeks old. Yep, this is me, Perenially Behind Girl! And I still owe ravyngyngvar a huge email, too.

I did NOT watch last night's Lost on the assumption that I should wait until mamishka can come over and see it with me. Now that we have no BSG, gotta get in our new TV togetherness as best we can! So it'll be Lost, Bones, and hopefully Charlie Jade for a while. Instead, I spent most of last night heavily pondering Lament, though I didn't do much in the way of actual writing. Mostly I took a bunch of notes to try to plot out the rest of the way Chapter 15 is going to go; more on this in my next Writing filter post.

I have learned, courtesy of working on my LJ comments catchup, that my current layout is not conducive to long-running threads. It's also not really friendly to posts where anything breaks the expected width of the content, such as over-wide pictures or quiz results. Oops. I'll have to see how much of this I can fix once I have the time.

And I learned, although this is old news, that my former workplace Attachmate has merged with lyonesse's former workplace WRQ, which was once one of Attachmate's biggest competitors. The merged company is apparently... AttachmateWRQ. Which is less than euphonious. But then again, "Attachmate" by itself wasn't exactly euphonious, either.

And they have no open software testing positions, either. Foo.
