God is good...
…Because today is Friday. What a fucking week it's been. We went live with our Track-It! Enterprise server on Monday and between handling an atypically heavy work load and attempting to tweak the TI server, I've been swamped. I mean running around with your hair on fire kind of swamped, of course this is coming from a guy who spends a lot of time fucking off at work...but really I've been busy.
I'm impressed with how well I've handled it all. I would have predicted total melt down on Sunday if I had known what I would have to go through this week. It has been so long since I've had to handle a heavy work load, with stress, that I didn't remember what it was like or how I dealt with it. I've always felt like I was the kind of person that could deal under pressure pretty well, even excel, but I've never been certain. This week has been reassuring for my confidence.
Having to handle some of the admin burden on the new TI server has also been a boost. I've recently questioned whether or not I had any drive left to take hold of a task and run with it. After this week I've elevated my own self worth in this department a few notches, but it's an area I know I need to keep an eye on.
But I am so happy that it's Friday, relieved even, between working out every day and dealing with my job...I need a fucking break. Tomorrow I get to experience the wackiness that is the Wizard World comic con for the first time. This is my second con and after a quasi-disappointing first experience (it wasn't the weird out scene that I had anticipated) I'm looking forward to WW.
