Topped out

, ,

My hours for the first seven consecutive days of work topped out at 65.25 because my boss said "go home" yesterday. I think it was because she didn't want to work anymore and would have felt guilty if we were still there. Today we reached our finish line. In the recap meeting at 3 p.m. she told us to tie up the loose ends on our portions of the project and go home. I left at 4 p.m. and felt like I was playing hooky, even though I had worked 8.25 hours today.

I got home in time to smoke a fine cigar, drink a fine brown ale, and talk to my parents across the continent.

Tomorrow it starts anew. The second phase of the project will pass the others by. We've set up all of the batches for release. Now comes evaluating their data for the study protocols. That's my main responsibility, so now I have another artificial and incredibly stupid deadline.

Really looking forward to the tooth extraction on Friday.
