MY CRAP! I am trying to get a Full Outer Join SQL query going for work so I can get all the data from both tables whether they match or not. And, there is so much data I need to limit the output so I can actually look at it logically with my tiny little human brain.

I had it going quite well… but then, suddenly, my record with Fiscal Period 04 is no longer showing up. Of course I don’t remember in which step I lost it, so now I have to go back over it, undoing the query line by line, to see what happened to make it disappear.

Ugh! SQL is not my strong suit and I would love some training in it.

I have a rotten time remembering what kind of beer I like. I got a brief beer lesson today at lunch… hops make the beer more bitter… so a hoppy beer is probably a bitter beer. I don’t really like my beer too bitter, but a little isn’t bad.

So we went to Red Rock for lunch today and I had their Oatmeal Stout. It was so yummy, I had two! And I could feel it going back to work. Not enough to hurt my work, of course. And it’s so nice to be able to work at a job where I can do that. Of course I’m careful, but I can hold my beer just fine thank you!

He he okay sometimes not. But today I did just a fine job and am doing well. It’s even worn off already. I just wonder… okay I don’t want to know, how many calories each of them had. I ate a salad for the meal, though! My weight was 158.2 this morning, so it is, slowly, going down.

Once again a busy day. Work, though, was kinda fun. I feel like I learned some and got some things done. My coworker friend and I (she did 99% of the work) gave a training class today. I don’t like doing it, but I have done, and will do again. She does such a good job. Anyway, I was able to remote into my work PC and run queries during the training. They take so darn long.

In the afternoon she helped me work on a report, and opened up my eyes to new options I hadn’t known of before. It’s so nice to have more options!

Tonight I had to declutter the house some, as the maid service is coming tomorrow. Will be nice and clean again!

And tomorrow my hermit crabs come! I’m excited, and nervous. I hope I have everything set up just right for them!

Anyway, the nice thing about working from home is I can make a big pot of coffee in the morning, though it’d be nice to have espresso machines too. I do love a Latte, though a plain cup of coffee does me okay, too.

I had such a busy last couple of days, it’s nice to come into work this morning and just sit and relax. I do have things to work on… and it’s nice to just tune out the rest of the world.. the dogs, the house, the car… everything, and just focus on my task at work. And I think it’s finally coming along nicely.

So I’m taking it easy today. I think I need some Kava tea to keep my company. Tuesdays usually go by fast for me because it’s the first day of the week. And tonight, no class.. no nothing, I’m going to sit around and veg after I feed the dogs and let them play for a while. And Sonny has gone to his new home, so we are down to only the 8 dogs. I miss Sonny, but one less body is kinda nice.

Calm……….

Today is my last day off before I have to go back to work tomorrow. I am playing sick today. Not taking off work, because it’s my flex day, but I’m just laying around and taking it very easy. With 9 dogs in the house, it’s not really all that easy… LOL. But I love each and every one of these dogs. And today is a non stress day. I think camp did relax me, after a couple of days, and now I can just cruise along and wait for fall.

I’m really looking forward to the long dark nights. I don’t care much for the cold, but I adore the long dark nights. I feel safe in the dark, and love Christmas and fires in the fireplace.

I think I might knit today, instead of spend the whole day on the laptop. I need to just make the day go by slow, and catch up on some of the TV shows I missed.

I ended up buying some designer inspired jewelry at camp, too. I love jewelry, especially earrings.

Man… I’m working on a report at work, I work in Cognos (all new to me, I’m learning) and man, nothing is ever easy is it?

I have all the numbers right, I’m getting it to total just fine.. then when I try to get it into sections (groups of things together) it blows my totals away.

Ugh! No fair. So now I have to finger this out…

Time just flies. Especially with Mondays off and having to do a bunch of things with the dogs. Got Sam chipped, and Mac already is chipped. I also decided I’m going to take a break from agility classes for a while. I’m too overloaded. And since Chase is taking a break and we are working on obedience and focus, and Levi is just steady in agility, it’s an okay thing to cut right now. UGH, I hate cutting agility classes, I love agility. But obedience Tuesday is more important. And Flyball on Wed is fun, and we have to learn our box work better still.

Anyway… I’ve been working a lot yesterday and today, so not much posting. At lunch today I’m going to arrange all my pay to blog services into a spreadsheet. I keep getting confused as to who I’m working for, who I’m getting paid from, and who I have even registered with. :p

I hope this blog is ready soon for some money making for the collies!

Whew, finally, it’s almost time to go home. Today is my Friday. I worked Monday so I have tomorrow off. Going to do agility Friday and Saturday at the Malinois Nationals. Should be fun. I even get to sleep in. They are doing obedience in the morning then agility in the afternoon.

I love to sleep in. Oh yes I do love to sleeeeeeeeep.

Well, today is the last day of the week for me. My Friday. Because tomorrow I’m doing agility again. Which reminds me I need to make sure with the secretary that all my things are okay. I haven’t heard back for a day.

I added some plugins to this blog.

I have some more to go though.

I am working today. Just trying to get some things I need to do… doing. And my anxiety is probably about an 8. Uck. I hate the work freaks me out so much now. Too stressful. I know that my thoughts are holding me back. I keep wondering if I can do it.. am I capible? I had a flash this morning of thinking things like it’s fun to find solutions to projects, I am good at what I do.. but it didn’t last very long.

I need to get those back.

The pills haven’t really kicked in yet, I guess. :p My avoidance behaviors are still there (thus I am here instead of working now bye!).
