checking in
so i haven't checked in in a while. normally its because of work and how crazy it can get there. This time, it has been the exact opposite. we finished up a product release at the end of March and have been in that lull period in between releases. I even snapped this shot on the first day of working after the release went out.
This was taken as I got home from work.
Sad, that is the first time that I've actually left work before the sun has set for months. Even sadder, I had to get help from Daylight Savings to even see the sunset. But its gotten somewhat better since that day. We're still dealing with cleaning up the loose ends from the previous release and prepping for the next one. At the same time, I haven't really felt like posting because I've just been wanting to spend time with Jenn and Naomi as much as I can.
So ironically, now we're on the cusp of the next release, so there is all the preparatory work and the gearing up that happens. We've got a nervous client (as usual) and more people that have joined them who insist on meddling (i suppose that is as usual too). What is so hard to understand about us trying to be consultants that offer a cohesive solution? Why do the clients insist on tinkering with this and tweaking that. Maybe its just gives they justification for their jobs, since we're the engine that develops the product, after all.
I'm tired. Not the usual sleep late wake up early long hours tired. I think this is more like fatigue.
