It’s Amazing Where a Week Goes
This week has gone very fast. I haven't been able to really even keep up on what's happening day-to-day here. The middle of the week was a blur with the work on the infix-to-prefix parser, and a ton of help to some folks trying to use my ticker plants at The Shop. Given that they aren't really excited about the change, I'm really not at all shocked that they are being a bit high maintenance about this.
So it goes... but the fact of the matter was that I was feverishly trying to add and fix things for them while trying to get the infix parser working while trying to get home at reasonable hours. It's a job, and I knew there were going to be days like this, but it was a real trial.
One of the real kickers that happened was that my manager gave me a bit of a scare when he pointed out that the reputation of my work was a very big deal. The way The Shop deals with bonuses and such is just a reality of life that we have to deal with. No two ways about it.
So I'm going to have to push harder, and that means I'm liable to step on a few toes. But I'm going to be very up-front about it, and let the management know what I'm doing and why. But in the end, it's going to get a little more uncomfortable for those that are dragging their feet.
So it goes... I've been more than a little uncomfortable this week for sure.
