How was your day?

Today was good. Overseas assignment got extended, so happy about that. Means extra stress but also extra excitement.

Nothing wrong with wine & burgers. :D
 
Well today has been shitty. Really busy day with long management meetings after only getting 3 hours of sleep. Note to anyone, if you are going to work in 2 different time zones, make sure those time zones are close to each other.

*huge hugs*

Toemaar, jy kan dit doen bokka, jy is awesome en strek genoeg.

Mine was not great either, work is driving me nuts, I dont have enough to do. Dad and I am not in a good place, but as usual I will cope.
 
loads of stress due to circumstances I can not yet control in any way and have no idea how things are going to turn out, other than that today is average for a change, at least SARS was helpful
 
I downloaded a design from dribbble and started reproducing it with html and css. I didn't get too far but at least it gave me something to do.
 
Work was pretty bland. Only redeeming feature of the day was some rather spicy chatter with someone...

Just push back on that sht. Expecting anyone to perform on 3 hrs sleep & jetlagged isn't reasonable.

Don't stress. If it's outside of your control then no point in stressing. And if anyone give you flak for it you tell them
Management rule 1: Don't hold people accountable for things not in their control.

Yeah absolutely. Should push back more. This instance was an exception though, had to put in the hours working with 2 different development teams from SA and India to get a system up and running that fell over. But today has been better.

Also, it's Friday!! Almost the weekend!!
 
Couple of way too tense calls arguing with auditors. :(

Otherwise just glad it's Friday.

Sometimes when my boss shows up on site he starts apologising to the client for things we weren't even involved in.

Well if another one of your departments fk'd it up or a sub-contract fk'd it up then he is right to. Gotta present a united front & defend the firm's reputation.

If it's a third party that fk'd it up then your boss is an idiot...falling on swords for other people for free is a very bad strategy.
