I'm at work today. Not my ideal way of spending part of my Saturday, but I couldn't stand being up here any more last night. I finally left about 7:00. When I left Yaser and Eric were still going, but planned to get out of there soon. I came in this morning and Eric was here with his daughter. Apparently he and Yaser had been up here until 7:00. He went home to change, eat, and clean up and came back up here.
Now I love what I do. Don't get me wrong there. I love the problem solving aspect of programming, but I give it all I've got for 8-10 hours a day. At the end of that day, I'm exhausted. I don't understand how these guys can do the same type of thing for 20 hours or so at a time. I don't know if it's an endurance problem, but somewhere in there, I have to have something else for my mind to do. Otherwise it turns to complete mush. I think it's just insane. Oh well...
The reason for the madness? We have a new client going live on Monday. We thought we had it well in hand. I guess we were mistaken.
