A Small Report, Episode VIII

Another three months have gone by, just like that. Except that they're actually four months this time, not just three.

However, I do have an excuse of sorts. When I wrote my previous post, I had no idea that we'd soon have spring all over again at work, with tremendous pressure to get things completed by an insane deadline, but that's pretty much what happened.

Hm. At first, I was planning to write about that. But on a second thought, although I think we've done some extraordinary work in the last four months, I think I'll skip it. It would feel too much like bragging, and too much like marginalizing similar efforts made by others. I'm quite sure that everyone in my profession has some horror stories about crunch time, and the next story will always be embellished to top the previous one. So no. Suffice to say, I don't think that anyone on the team has had any life outside work for the two first months (although we did get to sleep sometimes), and very little in the last two months.

But hey. Christmas vacation, right? Maybe I'll actually manage to write several posts before going back to work?

Merry Christmas!
