Do I see a death-march?

I have heard of it - programmers fear it - Hoke tells of it - but I have not experienced it. But will I?

Unfortunately, I think a death-march is coming - and I think I will be a part of it. What is a death-march you ask? In the tech world, a death-march is equivalent to an all-nighter before finals. In extreeme cases, the boss (whether the project manager or the owner of the company) will lock the front door and not let people out until the project is finished.

I really should not take this so seriously. Although I think it will build my character, I really have no desire to work all through the night to get a project done. I much rather budget time more efficiently in order to get things done ON TIME without any stress - kind of like I did with the wedding stuff.

So, this past Friday I had a sort of floating deadline to complete some stuff for the Moore School. (We are going though a "beautifying" all of the pages they have created.) There is no way we will be done tomorrow, which is a week late. But we HAVE to be done by next Wednesday - no questions asked. And that just might take a death-march.

Other than that questionable part of my upcoming week - things are going pretty well. Lost 10lbs total as of today. I am happy about that. I don't much feel like I have lost 10lbs though. Todd is in town this weekend. He came in today. We found out Justin's cousin Jowe is living up here now. He is coming by this evening - Justin has to fix his computer.

Having Justin's famous pork chops for dinner. I love those things. Hopefully he will do as well as always.

Reckon I better scoot. Gotta do some picking up before people get here.

PS - Thanks again for looking that stuff up for me Dad! I appreciate it!
