Voting Diary #3: Reading Between the Lines

Before the DNC, back when there were still a few guys (and gal) on each side, I didn’t mind Obama.  In fact, even though I was looking at Huckabee (or Ron Paul), I kind of liked Obama over the other Dem candidates.  I was truly hoping for him over Hillary, because he seemed a bit more normal.  I even liked the things he said, and I didn’t like her history.

As I mentioned in my first post on this topic, I lean deeply on God and His urgings in me. I try to keep an eye on the character of people; listen to what they are really saying and take a look at their history.

When Obama was chosen to be the Dem candidate, I started listening more carefully.  Something about him started bothering me deep inside, and for quite a long time I couldn’t figure out what it was.  When I mentioned this feeling to a friend, she told me she felt the same.

My big database project for work is off for the final round of testing before migrating the data over and going live.. yey!! It’s been a year since we first started this project and I will be glad once it is deployed.

Now, I get to start a mysql driven website for another division. I haven’t needed to hand-code a complete website for .. ever, it seems. I’ve been using Drupal or WordPress to run any websites that I have needed to create, because they are the best in my opinion. However, this is much different, so I’m going to have to go back and access all my old training.. :)
