Amusing thing, I went out to grab a bite to eat with Alex after spending 5 hours dealing with programming. I chose a good, albeit slightly pricier restaurant since we had no real plan. Thing is that the restaurant tends to have young couples or older groups. When Alex and I walked in, the many bored waitresses perked up and smiled more then usual. We realized about 5 minutes later that they probably thought that we were a couple. *chuckles* That, plus the glances sent in our direction semi-regularly is good for the old self-esteem.
Painful. I am reminded why I am not a programmer. While there is a visceral joy in finally getting pieces of code to work, it is agonizing when code which _should_ work fails for no reason. Picture-perfect, with the correct values going in and error messages coming out. Spent 5 hours doing that and will have to go in monday to finish it up.
As for the boring, it is the feeling which has filled my last two nights. An indistinct meh, lack of interest for much in the way of productivity. It's the kind of thing where most people would probably lie back and watch TV for a few hours, though I don't watch TV. While I would like to do some art or writing, I don't have the right mood for either.
