randomdreamsI got a bad year-end review at work. I'm unhappy about that, in part because I think my manager looks at every mistake as catastrophic, while not even acknowledging ideas and implementations that fix other mistakes. (When I swap three pins on a connector we're not using, because there are 300 pins and I have no time to double-check my work, he brings it up in every meeting for a month. When I write a macro that sorts data from a database into the format we need, after someone else changed how the database logging system works, instead of being happy that I fixed the problem, he gets mad at the person who changed the database logging system, even though that person had to do so.)
One of the things that came out of this is that he thinks my lack of an engineering degree is holding me back. That, I think, is definitely wrong, but oh well. So I'm trying to take the graduate-level EE course that all the system engineers I work with have taken. They, fresh out of college, said it required fifteen hours a week of homework, with them working together. It's taking me more than that, and my progress is slow. So tomorrow I'm going to get some tutoring.
Probably related to this is a random dream from last night. I was trying to go through my Japanese alphabets, and worked my way through hiragana without a problem, but just at the beginning of katakana, all the characters started to move and then run off the page. I was trying to corral them back in by drawing lines around the outside of the page but they moved too fast.
