This past week was one of the more hectic I can remember:

  • The main $WORK project I’m involved in needs to be completed by the end of the month (when the customer starts integration testing), so I’m working at a hectic pace to try and get it finished.
  • I’m involved at another customer for one day a week, but on that day I need to try and squeeze in about 3 days work. At least it’s both challenging and fun :-)
  • On Thursday I had to present to the new purchasing manager and a number of the business analysts at one of our customers – the joys of trying to quantify savings in purchasing to justify expenditure on new software.
  • I had to get an affidavit signed to make some changes to our medical aid policy.
  • A pipe in our house sprung a leak and our plumber was a bit slack in getting back to us, so every time we needed to use the water I’d rush outside and turn it on and then off again. The leak was under our yard, which is paved with bricks, so I was pretty stressed about it having to be dug up. Fortunately our plumber ended up fixing it with only a small number of bricks broken.
  • My mom’s car was broken into, but luckily it wasn’t damaged and nothing was stolen.

It’s only February, but I need another holiday already!
