I’ve been fairly busy the last week or so. Last Wednesday I was suddenly given a fairly high profile project that I’d been told a few times I wasn’t going to have to worry about, and it needed to be done by Monday.
But despite the stress and frustration that comes from a tight deadline, working through the weekend, and battling with tools who’s reliability is inversely proportional to the urgency of the task, I have actually rather enjoyed myself.
It’s always kind of good to be able to take something fairly well defined from nothing through to completion, and the deadline helps keep me motivated. So I’ve managed to find myself working at pretty much 99% for a change, leaving me feeling kind of drained, but relatively content at the end of each day. Instead of just drained….
I think I’ve identified a way to improve the way I work when I go back to my less urgent stuff too, so I’ll see how that works out…..
