Still a bit of a cough this morning, but I&#8217;m feeling pretty good.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I fought through the cough this past week to get my laps in at the pool &#8211; and did 45 yesterday.  The last ten involved coughing underwater, but I avoided drowning &#8211; which is always a good goal.  So, 90 laps for the week and back on track.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Earlier this week I helped run a series of usability tests on part of our website for work.  It went pretty well and I think we got some good information, but it took a lot out of me.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I also did my taxes.  Which I despise.  I don&#8217;t know that anyone really enjoys doing their taxes, but I&#8217;ve taken it to a new level of despising.  I&#8217;m getting some money back on federal and from the state &#8211; and I didn&#8217;t owe the city anything.   So, it&#8217;s over and done for the year &#8211; just wish it wasn&#8217;t always so complicated.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In other not-terribly-awesome news&#8230; I&#8217;ve decided to boycott chik-fil-a.  I found out that &#8211; despite the tasty food and disturbingly polite and friendly service &#8211;  they are kinda evil.  Or rather, their corporate office funds other folks that are evil.      I guess it&#8217;s a bit like BP &#8211; though in their case they are pretending to admit they are wrong and then still being amazingly evil and greedy.   I can respect that.    Chik-fil-a thinks they are doing the right thing and that is a bit more disturbing.   I&#8217;m considering writing an email to their corporate office, but seems a little futile.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Went and saw Red Riding Hood last night.   Pretty good, nice twist at the end &#8211; though it did drag on a bit.  <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I&#8217;ve been playing Overlord for a while now on the PS3.   I&#8217;ve played this before and didn&#8217;t make a lot of progress, but this time around I&#8217;ve got some new tactics and it&#8217;s a lot more fun.  <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>And finally, I&#8217;m thinking about doing a little work today.   I&#8217;ve got a survey to build that looked like a bit of fun &#8211; or I may work some more on my new desk for home.  <\/div>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/6913097901389264887-6996756518080395935?l=thunderofwade.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just finished up my antibiotics today &#8211; I&#8217;m hoping that the trend of getting better stays the course.
