Day 629 of 1000

My boss and I spent Saturday and Sunday afternoons this past weekend working out a schedule for a critcial delivery for our company.  It was quite a challenge that will require much effort–late evenings, some weekends, and plenty of stress.  There will be roadblocks, hurdles, people challenges, and high emotion, but we have a legitimate shot at hitting our goals.  When I get hired, one of the things I discuss with prospective employers is that I cannot work 14 hours per day, 6 days per week all the time.  That does not align with my priorities nor my abilities.  On the other hand, if my job does not include 6 to 12 weeks of that kind of work per year, then the job will probably not be that interesting to me.  Well, I am now starting into what will be a 9 to 15 week chunk with that level of commitment.  I know I am going to be fried be for I come out the other end, but I am invigorated going in.
