| Last Knee Update (I Think)~
|
I am done with the physio. Now, I'm into a one month resting period because the exercises to rebuilt the muscle caused a tendinitis. How lucky am I?! I'm happy I don't "have to" do any hard work on my knee right now. I was starting to be fed up with the exercises and the pain. Now I have no obligation and... it's great ! I don't have to feel guilty.
On another hand, I think I can accept to say goodbye to ninjutsu and airsoft for this year. I don't think my knee will be fit for that kind of sport for a looong time. Too bad I already registered for this huge airsoft game in Nancy... I guess I will have to go... as a photographer. -_-'
Now I am trying to fight my bad walking habit which consist in blocking my knee so I don't use the muscles and ligaments. I actually need to concentrate to walk normally. It hurts after a few minutes but I don't care. I will get this leg back!

| Geek? Maybe~
|
I used to think (hope?) I was safe from ever turning into a geek. Even a light geek. I think I must revise that thought.
I cannot install anything on the comp at work so there was no way I could istall FireFox. It wasn't much of a big deal until some genious created a bunch of cool scripts for one of the BBS I visit a douzen time a day. Now... It feels empty without them when I browse the place from IE.
So I intalled FireFox on my USB key and now, I can enjoy the leetness of the scripts again. I think I'm hopeless.

| Probable Good News~

My manager wanted to talk to me this morning. Usually, when you manager asks you to talk in private, it's never a good thing. Well, that was before I got my new manager. She was a friend before she became my manager so she talked to me as a friend this morning.
As I worked with two different managers this past year, my self appraisal is being handled by them both. It's a very good thing since my new manager is a nice and fair person in comparison with the previous one. Last year - and I think there is a few entries about this event in the July/August archives - my previous manager found some unfair comments to add to my appraisal which obviously lowered the quality of my work. I felt she had done that to make sure I wasn't eligible for a better raise and I ended up with the basic 3% every moron gets.
This year, it seems my new manager is pushing really hard to get me what I deserve. She managed to turn the ex-manager around to get her to help in the pushing, talked to our boss and even went to the big boss of our department. If I get lucky, I might get a 5~7% raise. It's only 250~350.- CHF more each month ($197~275) but it's the best you can get here and I just deserve the best (no false modesty).
So hmm... Now, we will have to wait until July or August to get the result of our appraisals. I'm not sure I wanted to know about this pushing thing. If at the end I get the 3%... I will probably give my letter of resignation. Bite me!
Currently feeling: hopeful

It's a song I discovered form The Punisher soundtrack. I always loved that song and I've been playing it a lot in my car lately. I thought I'd share. Check my radio.blog if you wanna hear it.
Broken
Seether Feat. Amy Lee
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me, anymore
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
[x2]
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away
You don't feel me here anymore
