This week has been a long one.
I’ve spent the last two days in 10-hour “exploration sessions” with software vendors/sales rep/business analysts. This means that I have had to be at work by 8am, and often was not leaving until 6ish, at which point we would go and get dinner/drinks and schmooze, which means I was not getting home until midnightish…
While it has been a wonderful ego trip to see these people (and my superiors) so confident about the leadership role I am taking in the process, it is more than a little intimidating to be facing down an 18 month deadline, and myself as the main internal resource to make that happen.
I also had to deal with the uncomfortably hilarious circumstance of my boss getting COMPLETELY LOADED last night, and dozing off at the table. We went to a steak house in the E. 40’s and he had a scotch, and three glasses of wine, and a cognac. He then started going crosseyed and head nodding, bloodshot eyes, the whole nine. It took him three calls to get his car to come pick him up. What a mess.
Anyshit, if I missed anything since, say Wednesday, please let me know, cuz I sure as shit haven’t seen it, and I sure as hell don’t have the time to go pickin.
I have forced social interaction night tomorrow at a co-workers house. I plan on getting wasted and leaving early. I have to do some sort of performance art, so I will also be reading a poem. Please shoot me.
Anyone have anything crazy shakin Sunday midmorn-afternoon?
Slainte!
Big ups to
