"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

Another Thirteen
Another thirteen hour day, with a serious mid-day battle with stress. We've entered what I am referring to as the imaginary UAT and while on a schedule meeting a variety of people kept making statements about UAT that I (as the person actually running the UAT) couldn't agree with - and so I wouldn't and came under a significant amount of pressure. So, after lunch and avoiding a few calls I managed to get things back on track. Honestly, I cannot wait for this project to end. It is so stressful due to the incompetence and lack of process that have hounded it. I might write more about it later, but tonight my plan is to go to bed, read a bit, and hopefully get a good night sleep.
