Getting Paid
Work is work. Getting my butt kicked by a core application that I have to rip out and replace with an updated version, but with the tools that I have on-hand, it's been a really aggravating process. The old app won't come out cleanly. The new app defies capture with snapshot tool, so I've had to resort to hacking the manufacturer's MSI file. Of course, the app doesn't just install with the MSI. There's a post-install component that I now have to find a way to duplicate. It's all such a pain in the ass.
I had to take a break and work on another app for a bit, just to clear my head on it. Fortunately, I was able to bang out the other app and send it up the river for testing by the users, so it still feels like I'm making progress.
Still waiting for the firm to follow up on my visa renewal. I'm trying not to be freaked out about it, since there's not much I can do except annoy people with my badgering, but I really don't like the uncertainty.
