trepidation.....
Jun. 4th, 2007 11:30 pmSo.
Bad day at work (got called on the carpet for something that was completely reasonable to get called for, and had to issue an apology, which was appropriate, but still wrenched me to do as a high-profile error).
Bad day at work (large array of disks tanked while we tried to configure it for better performance, on my recommendation).
Bad day at work (took so long, it wasn't likely that I was going to be able to get the kids before school closed, but that's okay because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elfgirl can just swing by on her way home from.... crap....she's in a different state!).
Bad day at work (no time for lunch, no time for Tai Chi, no time for sufficient hydration).
Bad day on the way home (no time to do my errands because I had to rush to get the boy from school, and most things around here close at 7pm).
Bad day at home (too dark to do the replanting or raised bed finishing I wanted to do, dinner was frozen food reheated, elfwife is 1000 miles away, kids wouldn't stay in their OWN beds, or out of their older sister's room, or out of my room).
And, yet, all this doesn't bother me as much as my own demons going crazy in my heart and head. Doesn't help, either, but....
Hm..... using a simple pulley, with a weight of 50 lbs on one side hanging straight down, and the other side extending outward at 30 degrees from vertical.... is the force along the angled line of 50 lbs what balances the 50 lb weight? Is there a sum of horizontal and vertical vectors if the weight is suspended by a person lying on their back, holding the end of the cable? If the person lets the line out and back, doing exercise, is the 50lbs of balancing force the total of the resistance, or is it something less for being at an angle?
