Working like a dog

"It's been a hard days night,
and I've been working like a
dog.

It's been a hard days night,
and I'll been sleeping like a
log."

This Beatles quotation summarises quite well my current state of mind. This past weeks have been hectic... As it always gets when the deadline approaches.

I must admit that I am so far impressed by the performance of the sub-system we've been building lately. All these component boundaries between Classic-ASP via COM to .NET back and forth felt a bit shaky at times - but now that the framework is in place, it all works beautifully. A litle more optimisation here and there and some more UI tweeking to do and the first release will be done!

I realise that the above discussion isn't very personal, but this is basically all I've been doing lately. Getting the brain up to speed during the days; adding a few more hours from home and then trying to wind down to finally fall asleep - with a ton of ideas for improvement flying about.

Then it's morning and the whole circus starts... Waking up the children, getting breakfast ready, getting Isak to get dressed, rushing to the buss to then leave the children and rush again to try to meet with the next transportation...

On top of all that, Isak's birthday is on thursday - with a party on sunday, so invitations needs to be sent out or delivered. The house needs cleaning up before the guests arrive and so on...

But I guess that somewhere this is what life is all about... I did manage last week to go and work out twice. Which left me with both muscle aches and a feeling of satisfaction. I doubt that there will be time for that this week, but I will keep it in mind. As sitting still all days isn't very healthy in the long run.

But now is the time for an early night. (Last one was disturbed by a wandering Isak)

G'night!
