Overtime

[Wednesday 23rd May]
The latter half of this week was largely characterised by me working very hard. There seems to have been an accumulation of lots of different things that need to get done this week, and there were quite a few people away on holiday (or about to be) so I had rather a lot on my plate.

Whilst I think I got home by around 8ish, after a quick dinner (spaghetti bolognese with fake mince and lots of red wine in - came out very well) I was back on the computer again and continued to work until about midnight. I'm always impressed by how well technologies like VPN allow you to work from home. However the down side of these technologies is that they allow you to work from home.

Gone are the days when the end of the working day was marked by seeing the clock reach 5, and then collecting one's bowler hat from the hat stand, waving goodnight to Curruthers (the doorman at the office), and strolling briskly back home.

Errr.

Still, whilst it is not ideal to be working long hours, on the plus side I do feel a strong sense of ownership in the work I'm doing at the moment, and consequently it is very satisfying when stuff gets done.
