Not much to say here, except I can’t seem to carve out a contiguous block of time to work on the comic. Every time I tame one issue, another two pop up, and the simple solution is never sufficient. Plus, I can’t help but feel like a failure at my job because I’m incapable of doing some of the basic work I was hired to do.
Now, this has more to do with a woefully inefficient system which can’t get me the one piece of software I need to do my job than it does with me. I’m genuinely excited about what I could do at this job, but the pace at which things are moving here is frustratingly slow. Also, forget about getting useful support software: I have to build a bunch of stuff from the ground up.
I think I figured out why the United States of America is/are floundering: innovation is a liability.
Of course, there’s good things going on, too: I’m helping out with some innovative projects which are really exciting, and I’m getting to develop some new systems by reverse-engineering closed ones. This is very satisfying to my creative side. Still, I like to do a good job and it almost seems like people are out to sabotage that very drive. I’m probably paranoid.
I don’t know what this has to do with the comic, but I originally added these posts to talk about the comic and what was going on in my life so I could see if there was any correlation. I haven’t been posting much about me lately, so I figure this is as good a start as any.
