Project deadlines are not your friend, no matter what anyone says

Just a quick update, because while long weekends rock, working 12 hours a day doesn't.

Things will probably be a little quiet here for a while, due to the aforementioned 12 hour days (and Sundays - did I mention I was working Sundays as well?), until things settle down at the project. And, as usual when I'm just trying to stay caught up with LJ, posting and commenting is the first thing to go.

Hopefully it will only be for a couple of weeks, perhaps less, if I can convince the my guys to stop distracting me by telling war stories. I think I spent more time today listening to stories than I did actually doing work, which is not great from the point of view of the looming deadlines of DOOOM, but is a hell of a lot more interesting. (Turns out Australia nearly had a military coup in the Seventies. Who knew?) Still, if they are going to pay me double-time, I better at least pretend to be doing work.

hi - eep, yes, am still snowed under with work myself, so am only catching up with lj sporadically. good luck with the work deadlines - we can have a virtual party afterwards and celebrate non-or-lesser workness....

Yes! We shall have an LJ party of non-working goodness!

YIKES!!! Killer hours, but I'm envious of the paycheck it must bring!

At first they said I wasn't going to get overtime, but now I am, so Yay! for extra pay. I likes me the money :)
