Spending all day to redo a form for its 8 columns of 39 cels is not very fun. Nor does it feel very productive, even if the way that I do it is just about the only way it can be done efficiently. I need the break, I guess.

So let's get to it.

Late start. Had dinner at the parent's place to commemorate my birthday and my brother-in-law's birthday. Got to try out the cheapo espresso machine which I got my Dad for a Christmas gift, and it seems to make a palatable cup. Then again I'm no big coffee connoisseur. I'll probably miss Joe Frank completely this week.

Another gift my wife acquired for me was a code for 2100 UK 360 points - and despite my account stating it's UK region, and the purchase email saying the points are for UK region, I cannot redeem the points. Lesson: don't bother with anything but physical cards. News to nobody else, I'm sure.

My fingers need to be de-iced.

I called the MeF help desk today and have had it confirmed that acknowledgements are merely sporadically given in response to submissions if they have errors in them. This didn't happen before, so why now? Though they said that submissions without errors will always get an acknowledgement, how can I be sure of that?

Moving on.

First 1040 of 2011 transmitted with 66 errors on first attempt! Yeehaw.

Looks like I have plenty of work to do.

Still no response from the IRS regarding my acknowledgements for recent submissions. Not happy about that. I've taken the time to do some necessary house paperwork and cleaning, and I'll do some script work tonight. I still want to know that my progress is in the right direction.

So very tired today. I want to avoid drinking coffee on days that I don't work but I felt that I had little other choice to pick me up at the moment.

Perhaps songs will fix my lethargy.

I think the new BBC Sherlock series hit a low point today with their whole segment for Sherlock's "Mind Palace". The show already has presented much more extraneous stuff on screen while action is happening, so I don't know why they couldn't have done more there - not to mention that the only other thing going on otherwise was him spazzing out with his hands. I mean, that's what I do here, but I'm not starring in some high budget drama.

That I know of.

Yesterday I was about finished with my daily session on the treadmill, where I have a PS2 controller taped to the handlebar so that I can play stuff while I (lightly) jog. At that time, I noticed that my thumb on my left hand seemed to become enfeebled and that I struggled to grip things with it in a way, or somehow felt like it was numbed. I am a bit apprehensive about how playing will feel today.

Let's find out how it goes.

Is it at all possible for me to get a single drive-thru order from Culver's without them messing something up? Christ.

4th: Himiko. 5th: Mendes B14. Again.

Fuck you. I stayed afloat at 55% B until that started.

Three songs I predict to be in the warmup: Erasemotor Phantom, Calls, and Kousoku Compliance.

Place your bets.

First song was Kousoku Compliance. Third was Nu Known, which is what compelled me to quit. Turns out that Cross Breed would have been fifth. I'm glad that I bailed immediately.

Next.

Just recently, I discovered a way to put a few lines of code in my project in a more efficient manner, which is nice and all - but which means that I should replace the code in everything that I've done so far, which is some 40 forms or so. I think. Wah.

Warmup.

Getting to work on 1040 SS (PR) later on. It's still in draft form, so that means I have to open it up in LiveCycle a certain way which makes the program slow down dramatically since it individually identifies and separates each element on the page.

I can stand to do this now.

Pretty easy course. Arguably nothing of difficulty came up until Intertwined, and that only has some stretches of bad note runs in spots but is otherwise palatable. Another entry in the ...

I have another batch of songs moved over, and they seem to work wonderfully.

Start up first.
