another twelve hour day
We have a big push on the software front. I anticipated it a couple of months ago and tried to head it off, but my warnings were not heeded, and so now milestones are slipping and people are working crazy hours. That includes me. The upside? I'm a contractor, and I get paid by the hour. The downside: I will become an exempt employee soon, because in this climate I need the job security. Then I can put in sixty hour weeks and not get any overtime.

People are making brilliant comments in a few recent entries. I have time to read them at a rapid clip as the email notifications come in, and no time to respond to them properly. Maybe tomorrow, with luck.

Oh yes, there's a very good chance that Kat and I will be able to get to Austin for the Io Pan Jam and New Orleans for the Jazz Festival! I'm going to take off two weeks between contracting and slavery -- I mean, exempt employmentt. We might even be able to get to the parties leading up to the Jam.
