Blast. The head dog wants me to come in for a wrapup tomorrow. I suggested Monday and put several spins on it even resorting to the “kids last day of spring break – haven’t seen them at all” emotional spin but he wasn’t comfortable with Monday.
On the positive side, tomorrow is the last day for awhile. There is other work but they want to get their ducks in a row before continuing.
Milestone 7 of 7 done.
Milestone 8 of 7 is debugging and corrections. Onto that now.
started into milestone 8 of 7 and half way through decided to complete milestone 7 first. Right on the edge of being done with it.
My mind has felt clearer these past 3 weeks or so than it has in the past 3 months! I credit that to the reduced cafiene intake.
Now I follow that with a contradiction: Have you ever worked so hard that you get a buzz? That’s where I am now (which spurred the thought above).
The distraction of the task switch to bug fixes has thrown me off kilter. Must get back onto milestone 7. Of course, skipping lunch probably isn’t helping. Candy bar to the rescue!
I feel like Mike Mulligan’s Steam Shovel.
One issue a bit of a curveball.. let’s see
Wahoo! Change list is minor!
Milestone 6 of 7 complete. Add milestone 8 for change list.
The dreaded change list is on its way. This could be the curveball that changes my departure date.
TN voted down recognizing Civil Unions. Morons. I understand that their reasoning is more economic (employers required to cover spouse, tax breaks, etc – concerns over people just ‘declaring civil union’ to beat the system) than moral but if we’d redo the health system and other things in the united states it wouldn’t matter.
Another milestone achieved! 2 out of 7 left go. Each one is faster than the prior.
A New Day!
Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:
This Morning
Woke at 5am with no alarm and went right back to sleep until 6:15. Now in the office and ready to bang keys! I want to get home to my family. I want to take them to the zoo all day tomorrow. Of course, if I were the project manager, I’d want my programmer to stay on one more day. If they go there, I may do a sell on them testing Friday (lower cost) and me returning Monday to help further testing and make corrections. I’d drive up and back in one day.
Last Night
Got thrown a bone and dropped into the wrong mindset. Allowed myself a dinner of sushi with a slice of chocolate cake for desert. The desert was quite a waste of money.
Got started on my proposal!
