Today was my off Friday but I ended up working six hours or so preparing for project go live scheduled for next week. I am looking forward to it and from everything I can tell it is going to go pretty smoothly. We"ll have all the data staged and the release itself is significant process wise, but not major from a technical standpoint.
I had a rough week. Wednesday was my melt-down day. It was a stressful day anyway, right out of the chute, and then in the late afternoon my manager called and put some additional pressure on my to do a couple of tasks that lead to a heated discussion about the time pressure I was under. Here, I will insert my semi-standard rant about bad leadership and get on with it. We're understaffed and overworked and the stress levels continue to be high.
I do have the weekend off though, so I am going to go out and do something different, just to remind myself that there is something else to write about besides work. I haven't decided what I am going to do, but I am looking forward to it. I thought about just taking a nice long hike, something with a semi-serious distance, so I can see if I can beat my personal best on my pedometer (which is about seven and a half miles). That sounds like a worthy goal.
