Momma needs a VACATION

Tuesday, April 29th, 2003

Ughhhh… Been one of those days where I felt like I was hyper productive yet I walked out the door thinking what the hell did I do with my day… I didn’t spend it playing (aside from the occasional web diversion) or chatting. I spent most of it slogging through bug reports and talking to [...]

1. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Hmmm… I switched what I wanted to be ALL the time - it depended on what book my parents gave me to read at the time… I remember wanting to be an archeologist at one point because of a national geographic [...]
