The Execution Phase

work has been crazy lately and it will continue to be so until october. i worked from friday 'til saturday morning, sunday night. thought it was over now the file was submitted, i was asked to go back to work on monday night and stayed there 'til 11.30ish. stayed 'til midnight on tuesday and had a conference call at a play on wednesday, imagine that! thankfully i only stayed until 9ish yesterday and today, after the functional team decided to change the business rules AND sent a wrong setup table for the 3rd time just for one day, i decided to go home and work on it later. 2nd iteration and it's still the same. God help me next week as i'll be away. it might be a problem but at least the functional team will be on leave from wednesday onwards so even if it's a wrong setup i can't do anything until her return *evil*
it was challenging, yes but at the same time my body and brain is just so tired that tears started rolling down. i guess it's due to hp on leave that i have no one to vent out my frustration to. i did cry harder today when i had to redo my work again and again because of the rules and files.
but still, i felt totally pushed to the edge yesterday that i took the papers, signed and faxed them over.
yupe, been contemplating for awhile. friends and even my sister said i can do it on my own that i've started gathering info and even asking for samples from those who's done it. but yesterday, with the frustration of this particular project and another two which i have yet to start my mind began wondering. i asked myself, with this schedule of mine, do i have a time to look into every detail? the answer i got was probably not. and that's when i took the papers and pen.
so yeah, i've prepared myself for the long jump. i'm in the 'ready' state now waiting for 'steady' and 'go' to be announced.
wish me luck, for the project that is :)
