Running Around Like a...

“The sky is falling, the sky is falling!”
Chicken Little seems to be an appropriate way to begin today’s post, as we are currently running around like crazy at work trying to get something done by the end of today that wasn’t really even in our plan until this morning. These little “drive-by” projects can be quite interesting. It’s sometimes frustrating, because as the one actually doing the work, it would be nice if management was able to better shield me/us from these acorn-on-the-noggin moments. But it happens.
No doubt some of you are wondering how I’m finding time to compose this post if work is so crazy. Well, the long answer is that software development is a tricky job, and you’re not always go-go-go. Sometimes there are a few minutes here and there when you’re compiling or waiting for someone else, etc. The quick answer is I’m slacking off for a few minutes. I’ll get back to work momentarily.
Current snapshot for the rest of the work week: 9 high priority bugs, 6 development tasks. One deadline today (2 of those tasks), one on the 24th (everything else).
Nothing really to say on the personal front, but if I think of anything, I’ll let you know. Until then, don’t let the acorns get you down.
