tarotgalThree days straight now I've worked 13-14 hour work days, and that's not letting up. Our site is so far from being ready to launch and every spare second I have is going into it, but I can only do so much. It's in the hands of consultants who repeatedly prove that they're not on top of the project and aware of our needs. I'm scrambling to do everything I possibly can and staying until 10 or 11pm every night, but it's not enough. Not nearly enough. I enlisted coworkers to help enter data and right now we have about... 5% of the data imported. I've spent DAYS setting up spreadsheets of data from one database to go into another and our consultants haven't bothered to put the data in the system yet. So frustrating. We're supposed to start testing with users on Monday and it seems unlikely at this point. *sigh*
Anyway, I'm exhausted. Sitting for 14 hours a day in front of a computer, coding and trouble-shooting. I managed to get the incoming list of problems down from 180-something down to 100 on Wednesday, down to 50 on Thursday, and down to ZERO today! It went back up shortly thereafter, but I kept battling it down. Now it's got about 3 on it. Not bad. But that's just the stuff that's WRONG with the site. It doesn't have anything to do with the fact that it's missing content and functionality. I'm putting everything I am into this thing and my boss doesn't seem to notice. He keeps saying how pretty the site looks. Yeah, it looks pretty, but no one can USE the damn thing. Doesn't seem to concern him, though. LOL
Anyway, I started another ABC fic on Monday/Tuesday and got so excited about it. But I'm coming home dead from work every night and falling asleep trying to write it. Sorry. It might be a while. But I wrote the whole "plot" out in notes so I wouldn't forget what I wanted to do with it. And it's so nummy :-)
Gods, I'm exhausted. My body is not working properly and not resting enough at night. I can barely move without being in pain. Huge headaches from lack of sleep. My mental abilities go in and out and I'm trying to take advantage of them when they're in. I spent about 9 hours today trying not to cry from exhaustion and then got my second wind around 8:30 and managed to leave work while it was still going so that I could drive safely.
But, yeah, my life is on hold right now and I'm fucking exhausted. It's been an 81 hour work week for me thus far and we'll see how work goes tomorrow (after I go to my volunteering job in the morning, of course).
I SO need a happy. Thank goodness for Ingrid Michaelson CDs. I played 2.5 of them on repeat for about 2 days straight. And tonight I started an audio book when I was doing data entry and that kept me awake. Yay! So did the entire package of goldfish crackers and double-stuff oreos.
