THE DAILY DIVERSION

Well, I don't really have much of a reason to post right now, other than it's been a while since I've done it. I've been absolutely swamped at work lately.

I've actually been developing two projects for my department using Microsoft Access. It's odd, because on a couple of the people I work with have ever even heard of it, and none of them know how to use it, even thought it's much simpler than setting up and dealing with VBA Programming for Excel (which is the program the people who started the project were working with).

Luckily for my bosses I'm able to learn on the fly. Actually, I've used Access for several years now, but I am self taught with it, so there's probably a ton of things I'm not using that would be very helpful. I should just buy a book about it, but I like discovering things for myself.

I guess since I was a little kid I always like to reverse-engineer things. I used to take my GI Joe's apart and put them back together, with different body parts of course. I would also take apart electronics, just to see what their make-up was all about. Once computers were accessible to me, well, all hell broke loose. I can't begin to say I'm an expert using one, but I know my way around a PC pretty well.

Anyway, I just thought I'd check in and let anyone who cares know that I'm still alive and kicking. Well, work is kicking my butt as well as my allergies, but that's another story!
