Good day.

Code is rocking.

Jeep is fixed. (Side mirror finally repaired after a year and a half - estimates in NC were in the 'replace the door' range, ie, $200-800. Place up here called two junk yards, at second one found the right part for $40. And they didn't charge me labor. WTF?)

Let's see... been at work for, um... 14 hrs now, going on 15... and I'm still groovin'.

Good day though.

been at work for, um... 14 hrs now, going on 15...

And you wonder why your body's falling apart? ;)

Oh feh. I did that six days a week for *months* in the run-up to the defense. ;)

Besides, in a perverse way, I *LIKE* working like that. Get into the groove, doing what I enjoy, having things click... feels good. Doesn't feel like work.

Sure, and I remember that "zone" from my grad work too... it's just that it takes its toll, and we're not getting any younger, either of us!

Work/Life Balance.

You have to make it a priority, even when work is really grooving.

I'll live when I'm dead.

Or at least after the next deadline is over. ;)

Work will always be there.

Or, anything worth doing today will still be worth doing tomorrow.

Unfortunately, impending division-level milestones that I am responsible for will not always be there tomorrow, so...

Besides, I *like* concentrated effort at coding for hours. This is how I prefer working, to be honest. 3-4 days of this, followed by the rest of the week off... works for me. :)

Oh, I assure you there will always be milestones and deadlines tomorrow. Always. :p

And keep in mind, this might work for you because your metabolism is currently kind of broken. Don't be afraid to not do this kind of thing, if you get the chance. You don't really need to be any more fucked up than you already are. :p

"3-4"? "rest of the week off"? what is this magical equation? how do we invoke it?

aah, you know the rest... :/

I think 'don't accept so many projects' might be a good start, but we've been over that. ;)
