i ended up working sunday morning as well, but i had enough by 1pm and i just cycled to the gym for a work out. i get stressed when i dont go to the gym, and i need it for my mind as much as my body.
this week so far has been all go as usual. today i had to build a cluster, install and configure 3 production ESX servers, and configure applications and check 12 other trading servers. quite frankly there are not enough hours in the day to get all that done, and i am going to have to try and finish it all off tomorrow. i am also going to be working late on friday and going to be in the office on saturday as part of the datacenter migration i am working on, which is the project i was originally supposed to be doing. i should actually be be doing all the prep work for that and all this other stuff is extra. its mental.
i have had contracts where i got frustrated at not being given enough work to do, or just repetitive work, and this is most definitely not like that. i jump between 2 or 3 different project in a morning, as opposed to being stuck on the same piece of work for months on end. if it wasn't for the fact that all the stuff i get given is overdue and under serious time pressure, with trading teams wanting them a week ago, it would be a lot of fun. instead it can be quite stressful, but thats not a bad thing if its not an unreasonable amount of stress.....which it sometimes is.
i go from contracts that are painfully dull, to this one which is crazy busy. i have 4 months of not working, and now they want me to work every single day including weekends. lots of time, no time, very slow, too fast. oh well, i can't complain. times are tough out there for a lot of people, and i am being paid well and learning a lot as well.
anyways, i found another tune for my california mix tape.
today i have mostly been listening to goyte - somebody i used to know. do yourself a favour and listen to it without watching the video. it distracts from the song and i dont like it. its a very very good song.
