Today is Just One of Those Days…
I'm sitting waiting for some runs to complete on the UAT box for The Group, and there's not a lot I can do other than to wait. This has been one of those days where I just want to scream - but can't. I've been trying to make progress to feel like I've really accomplished something today, but it seems that I'm getting set-backs at the same rate that I'm removing them. Every "Finally…" is quickly followed by "What's this?!?", and a diversion or blocker that keeps me from actually getting anything really interesting done today.
Looking back at the commit log, I know I did some good stuff this morning, but that's long been forgotten. Now I'm just sitting here, waiting for someone's runs to complete. This is what I really liked about Finance - or maybe just working in small groups: You spend very little time waiting for folks because there's so few things you need from other people.
Not so here, and so I have to wait. I'm not very good at it, but I guess this is going to make me better at it.
