Barnum and Bailout

I'm convinced that putting on a wedding is like putting on a circus, only with one less ring. Trying to get everything to come together just right to please as many people as possible without going completely flat-ass broke in the process is harder than you think. I now understand why people who get married a second or third time usually just go to the courthouse and get it over with!

Thankfully we're down into the single digits now. Only a week to go, in fact. I'm going to be thankful when it's all over with and we can get back to our normal lives. It's not like we haven't already been living together for a year and a half....

People Who Need a Nap

Some days it feels like I'm the only one who understands the difference between "criticism" and an "attack." People just seem to take everything personally sometimes. I guess it's an ego thing; those who tie too much of their own self-worth into what they do rather than who they are would naturally feel slighted by someone speaking negatively about something they did. It's just frustrating.

You run into a lot of egos when you deal with software developers. People get too tied to their code, and they can't stand to have it scrutinized...or worse, replaced by something better. Personally, I couldn't care less. The best solution wins in my book, regardless of who did it. But some days I feel like I'm in the minority there.
