Trees on the Beach, a Blog

So after my blog post yesterday, I discovered some things.  Android Studio must be run with administrator rights.  That fixed the project creation issue. I am not Chip.  Just an fyi. So I found some sample code online and bam, Android Studio just mostly worked.  But after this little sample project, I feel deflated.  I went to work today and wrote a brief on Preservica, an archival storage system.  My day typically consists of nonsense like that.  We already have a great storage system that would cost nothing to use, but due to centralized IT and another agency charging us for the storage space, our system is "too expensive" to actually use. I go to these "CPMS meetings."  I spend at least 4 hours of my life every week in there pretending to pay attention, or sometimes not even pretending.  Sometimes I play with my phone.  I hate them with a passion. I get up and go to work every day.  Every morning I tell myself "I can'...

So here I am, sitting at work with no assignment.  The victim of a reorg, although I hesitate to consider myself a "victim."  That does indeed seem to be the case, somewhat.  I'm tired, getting old, and living for the future, which I would advise anyone to not do.  What a waste of life.  This is how people get old and cranky. This video is going to be me, cruising the beach roads again someday.
