Not fun, but points for surviving without permanent damage, and a few wins along the way.

I've been doing 12 hour days all week, trying to get [counts on fingers...] six, or maybe seven, projects wrapped up before Christmas.

Not as dramatic as your adventures, but this hasn't been the most fun week ever.

Re: Roller Coaster week (4.00 / 2)

Thanks for your words. I find that it isn't so much the work, if you can count on a reasonable planning horizon. It is the things that pop up inadvertently, and of course the health issue, that throw one off schedule and make things tough.

Good luck and best wishes for concluding your own projects successfully.

Re: Roller Coaster week (4.00 / 3)

Yeah, I have a number of projects that have to be finished before Wednesday so we have some chance of collecting on them before everyone disappears. I don't have the design for two of them yet ... <sigh>
