- Heart rate - 66

Today is Tax Day, April 15th, but the taxes aren't due until April 17th. I owe $7,000. That sucks. My wife received money from work and they didn't take out taxes. I've always hated tax day.

Work
I continue to be very busy at work. I've been at my new position for about 6 months.
Database Code
I've been working on Excel VBA code to run database queries. This past week I got the code to run 2 queries on 2 different databases and then combine the results.
Other
I've been trying to stand up more at work and have used a timer app on my phone that warns me every 50 minutes to stand for 10 minutes. I tried to get a stand-up desk but was told I need a reason. So until I get a doctor's note I've been taking my laptop to a cabinet and working there for 10 minutes. I've created a short list of tasks that I can do while standing. I was due for some training which I can't stand to do. Recently I had to get trained on the ADA (American's with Disabilities Act) which seems like very foolish overburdensome regulations and Fair Lending.
I've also made a list of topics and plan to write 1 page summaries on them. To see how knowledgeable I am and to fill in the gaps. The first randomly selected item was MPOR which stands for the Margin Period of Risk.
Oh my God so f'n boring. So I tried to take the class and the assessment in 10 minutes which should take much longer. Instead of reading the content I press next as fast as possible and then take the assessment. I have to get > 80% to pass the test. I passed both tests and noticed two things.
- All of the above, is usually the correct answer
- If there are 3 similar answers and 1 different one, then the different one is the answer
A new person is starting soon. Seems like a nice guy. I always worry on how much I should help him. He will kind of be reporting to me. If I help him so much I might not be needed at work and get fired. But then I think there's no way he could do what I do. I have 40 years of programming experience and almost 10 years in this department.
I've been getting annoyed by Excel 2013. I was just upgraded at work from 2007. It's seems much slower than the old version. I tweeted to +Microsoft about this but no response.
