Its February and it looks like winter is officially here. temps at least, I was getting used to weather in the 60s for a while and then the cold came back in, it might even snow this weekend, or so the friendly weather people tell me in the morning as I’m getting ready for work.
Speaking of work, I’m in the midst of another transition between divisions, this time the time crunch is a bit more stressful and honestly a little ridiculous. I feel like I’ve been on fight or flight mode for the past 2 months or so, meeting deadline after deadline, but never really getting closer to the end goal as originally expected. After a while you get into deadline fatigue, with each one rolling over into another with no light visible at the end of the tunnel. Pretty soon you just hope to live to fight another day. In more ways than one I’m looking forward to a change of pace, a different perspective a different and perhaps more structured way of getting the work done.
The one plus side is that I do think the work we did accomplished some change, incrementally at least, its just a matter of closing it out and filing the paperwork, get some credit really. The last steps always come back to get you in the end. And thus is life.
Superbowl was kind of boring, I got recruited by one of my co-workers to cheer for the losing team, ultimately since my team was out I didn’t feel strongly either way. I guess in the end I do have a little bit of bias towards smash mouth football as opposed to west coast offenses. Then again there wasn’t too much of that either last night.
Been pretty busy lately, haven’t had much time to read up on the news, but every once in a while an article catches my attention. numbers can be fudged and spun I understand, but only so much. Based on the budget proposals I’ve seen I don’t think this one is too far off.
