I did it again.

I worked 15 hours yesterday - couldn't stop myself. Very tired today.
I finished the data model, only to learn that it is the wrong database.

I also learned that the tool I am using to reverse engineer the model is old, and is not built to interpret the current design practices in databases today - heavy use of VIEWs, etc.
I tried for 6 hours - could not get it to work.
I have a few more ideas to try.

I erally wabnt it to work because there is a serious need for this.
Over the last year, I have been asked several ties for models of databases outside our group - for the sources of where we get information. They don't exist, and our system engineering, IMHO, is crippled without them. I have to find a way to make this work.

MY BOOKS ARRIVED - in just 3 days. I choose the free shipping option, and it was suppsed to take 2 to 4 weeks. I am reading a biography of Orrin Porter Rockwell now, but need to stop that this weekend. I got the book to give it away to a re-activated Church member. He was a marine, and he expressed his concern about how he feels he doesn't fit into the church group because "once a marine, always a marine". We have introduced him to other LDS marines in the area. The ward mission leader asked me to find a book on Orrin Porter Rockwell to see how men of action are an integral part of the church - we don't all have to be scriptorians and counselors.

I slept 8 jours, and has thought I'd sleep more, but my body woke up. I am rotating laundry now, and using the mood light as I type this.

There is a baptism today, and I was asked to give the gift of the Holy Ghost to an 8 year old boy. He is from a new family of converts, and I want to serve them. I can't go into their home because the Mom does daycare, and the exposure to the kids makes me ill. When giving the gift of the Holy Ghost, one places both hands on the head of the one recieving the gift. The ward mission leader is concerned, and gave me opputunity to back out - but I am going to try and see what happens. I just need to remember to take "Airborne" before I go to Church, and wash my hands as soon as possiblke after touching a child. I don't want to get sick again - it tok 10 days to get better.

Part of the problem is that I can no longer use echinacea and pycnogenol to assist my immue system, as I have done for the last decade. I did homework on the WWW to see if there would be any interaction with my prescribed meds - and didn't find anything. But there was a reaction. It caused me to retain water. The swelling in my ankles was too much, and I had to stop.

I got an email at work - MY STRIKE DUTY ASSIGNMENT WILL BE CHANGED. Anything owuld be better than that one. I was chosen to be head of strike security monitoring at a building. I would be the one directly interfacing with the strikers, keeping them off private property, bringing workers through strike lines safely, gathering evidence when the strike assembly became unlawful - pictures, videos and witness statements. I AM SO GLAD IT IS BEING CHANGED. I will not know my new assignment for 2 more weeks.
