I have a project deadline on friday, together with the other guys on the team. Some of you will know what that means Go-live is on monday.

Things are going okay, there don’t seem to be any major problems appearing or any serious problems which would keep us from releasing the project on friday, but anyway, we’re still not done and people here (including me) really start to get stressed out, tired and a bit anxious.

We worked the whole weekend and we know that we’ll have to work through the next weekend as well. I worked till 2:00 in the morning on friday and 11 hours yesterday and I’m pretty sure that it will continue like that.

There’s really no particular reason why I’m telling you this, I just wanted to get it off of my chest a bit Currently, when I get home, I’m too tired to do anything so I just play some sitcoms on my TV set and fall asleep pretty quick, without actually sleeping very good.

So I thought I could relax my mind a bit by writing random and off-topic stuff into my favourite forum

Hey mate its good to be able to do this isnt it. Yes just write without noticing. Telling us how you feel and have no particular reason to be writing whatever is it that you are writing. Nice. Thats why we are friends. All of us here. This is the true essence of this forum, to be able to just write without thought or reason.

Best post i’ve come across in a long time .. LOL !

Cheers mate !

Good luck. My last job required many 12 hour days (8-8pm) with no breaks or lunch - well, I ate while typing. My former boss would hand me projects that he was sitting on for 3 months, 1 week before they were due. One time he gave me something 24 hours before it was due! (I worked on it all night, came in at 8am, presented at 9am, and then began to pack up. My Boss asked where I was going, I said I stayed up all night covering your ass, I am going home and going to sleep and I better get paid for today, of course, I did.)

No matter how much planning you do, somehow it almost always comes down to the wire.

Good luck, look forward to sleeping over the weekend
