thebratqueenSo last night I was at work until 11:30. Could've been worse. Others were there until 2:30am. And then back at it around 8 this morning. Yeah.
Today was, comparatively speaking, not too bad. I was in a conference room all day as we did fine-tuning. And during the various interruptions of that fine-tuning I was able to get SO MUCH DONE because NOBODY WAS INTERRUPTING ME. IT WAS HEAVEN.
It's all still not done yet. If I had to bet it won't be done until Monday afternoon, which is when the folks giving this presentation head out of the office. So it's possible I'll have insanity to deal with Monday morning, but they're leaving at 3 (or thereabouts). And either way by the end of Monday I am OUT OF IT WHEEEEEE.
Don't get me wrong. I got to use my mad skillz 1) at all and 2) not only in front of my boss but the CFO and CEO. This was a very awesome thing for me to be so heavily involved with. It's only the marathon aspect of it that's a bit much for what my system can handle, so it's nice to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
For those who asked, I'm on salary so no overtime. I will get to take time off next week which I'll turn into a 3 day weekend on Friday. The tangible benefits, such as they are, of when I do work like this tend to be in extra paid time off and in how my raise/bonus is calculated (those years when we do raises/bonuses). Plus my boss knows that I rock in stereo, so it's all good.
In other news, I think the cats might be finally convinced that I didn't totally abandon them forever and forever. Poor kitties. *pet pet*
