At work too damned late
Aug. 12th, 2005 08:11 pmIt is almost a quarter after eight, and I am still at work. Because we didn't get a couple of builds for today's test run until FOUR O-FRAKKING-CLOCK (apparently the build team is absolutely hammered, and I mean that in the 'overloaded with work' sense, not the 'overloaded with beer' sense, though I suppose if I were on the build team at this point I'd like to be overloaded with beer), I'm staying tonight to push all these tests through.
The good part of this is that as of this writing I have racked up a total of 5 1/2 hours of overtime this week, which, along with the overtime I have to work both tomorrow and Sunday, will make up for the four unpaid days of post-surgery recovery not covered by my upcoming paid week of vacation.
The bad part is, I'm absolutely FRIED, and I haven't been able to write a word tonight yet. Also, I haven't gotten to watch tonight's Battlestar Galactica yet either.
However, this post also gives me a chance to show off the shiny (ar ar ar ar) new icon that
lyricae and
mamishka made for me, because it is apt beyond all bounds of mortal aptness for this post. You gals are the best. Love ya!
