Today started well, sucked in the middle, and is shaping up to end well. All in all, I can't complain.

Cuddling and kittens in the morning is the proper way to wake up. I have it on my calender every day for the rest of my life. :)

The suck part of the day comes at work. I'm dissatisfied at work again. I used to work only on Perl projects, and I was really enjoying that. My responsibilities have been changed to work with a different group and do Java projects. That's really exciting for me, and I was really interested, but it turns out that I'm the red-headed step child of the group.

Everyone else in the group has been doing Enterprise level Java programming for 6 months or so, I only have theoretical knowledge of such things. I have never had the oppurtunity to apply the knowledge, so it's still very new to me. So, what's been happening is I get an assignment and go about figuring out how to do it. Since I'm still learning though, I can't get the project done with the speed they want, so they move me to a different project that they think I can handle.

What ends up happening is that I never get to learn anything completely. I'm afraid they've got this image of me and they think I'm a moron who can't code his way out of a paper bag. The truth is, I just need a little time to acclimate myself, and the oppurtunity to finish a project. *sigh* Unsure of what to do.
