Feh

[amanda_lodden]

I've been back home for less than 24 hours, and already I feel weighed down and depressed. Much of that stems from the number of responsibilities that climbed back onto my shoulder as soon as I got home, and wouldn't be helped by a permanent location change.

This. Will. Not. Do.

As tempting as it is (and has been in the past) to run away from it all, that's not my style. Instead, I'm casting a critical eye around at things that need to be fixed, dealt with, delegated permanently, automated, or some combination thereof.

Something tells me that I'm going to have a very long winter.

It's that time of the year. Every thing seems to be weighed down.. Lack of sunshine.. Socail demands.

Trying to be super (fill in the blank) can really wear you down... But did you have a nice vacation though?

Try to relax and enjoy this holiday season.. ( note to self try to do the same) See you soon.

Find an Ann to kick ass at the office. Get back to what you really like doing (which I assume is coding, since you talk about it most of all your responsibilities at the office). Make sure JRL and the programmers have enough water and pellets.
I realize that's oversimplified, but as long as we make it through the year, it doesn't have to be pretty.

Actually, I hate coding. But it seems to be the path to easier working conditions, so I do it. And hire it out. And generally try to make it happen. I don't actually know what I really like doing any more.

Getting through this year is easy, and unless multiple customers screw us all at the same time, getting through next year shouldn't be a problem either.

Then use the time to find what you really want to do, I think. The office isn't going to fall apart, and as far as I know, we're all going to do alright. But I guess that's what you meant when you said you were going to cast a critical eye on the whole process.
