[EOC] T minus 2 and counting

It's Thurday. I'm busily updating the documentation.

Friday 14 October is "The Last Day". (I wish it was THE last day, that is, the day Jesus returns.)

Of the 19 agencies I've written to, 4 have replied to say they're working on it. Looks like it's back to getting suited up and walking from agency to agency in the Perth CBD saying, "G'day, remember me? Yeah, I'm actually 3D and have feelings."

There's this disease one can get -- I get it often -- called PLOM disease: Poor Little Old Me.

[EOC] End of Contract

I've got one more week and then I'm unemployed again.

I feel down. I wish there was something "cutting edge" I could do. Everything I can think of is diametrically opposed to the cutting edge, being either the blunt bit at the back of the knife or the even blunter bit on top of the chisel handle.

Who cares about MetaCard? Who cares about S*BOL but a few diehard fanatics (who are mostly older and greyer than me)? Who cares about Clipper or xHarbour but a few South Americans into retro memorabilia? As for VBScript, this is just one of thousands of websites and I'm a relative newcomer to a tool that's been around for very long time.

Eventually I'll have posted all my MoonRock BASIC, Fitted Software Tools Modula-2, Turbo Pascal 5 and Euphoria code. Whooptie do. Even if I finish my CCNA, learn Haskell, and write Kiwi CatTools equivalents ... who cares?
