It was going to happen. I've been working really hard this week: No gym. No running. No sleep. It's only been a week but my body don't like it. This morning I woke up with a sore throat. But silly I suppose.
That said, the late nights have paid off work wise: I've been working diligently and effectively(ok maybe not effectively) to ensure that all my logic is sound, clean, transparent and readable. I know it is, which is feel good most definitely.This is key because it's a complex task I'm doing for our product release and I'm enjoying it(don't tell no one though!) so I'm real happy to loose a bit of sleep but its pretty sucky to feel run down. Bought myself a smoothie last night in the hope to boost me but it was a bit late it seems.
Today is Friday and I'm going to catch up on all the sleep that is lingering around on the ceilings that I left behind while being up(whoa, complex pun).
Last night I had 2 beers(I'm still a 2 beer drinker) outside our work premises and because it is complex it's very close and fairly homely(as a colleague put it) but seems very formal. At the drinks they were hosting and showing off the sport of fencing(yeah with the swords) and the dudes were lancing and poking below the upper decking, which is where we were at, looking down at the platform where they were. Seemed fairly corporate.
Yeah so we've been in our new offices for the past week now and with the newness comes a cautious optimism - cautious in as much as we've been very quite, not as talkative and someone told me that they feared that we were loosing our identify and feel. Thing is, two big things happened very quickly recently that have contributed to this view. Firstly, we were acquired by software giant and we moved into a new premises - a double whammy for change! So that's going to happen. Just got to let the new stuff grow on you.
But back to me and my sore throat. Im not going to work diligently again! Moderation with most things is king.
The new offices are not far from where I used to work, so that's great and the really cool thing is that they are so beautiful! I got retractable screens at my desk, a huge white board(dude... so awesome!) and a massive desk and here is the kicker right, a separate telephone! Yeah imagine that - might not mean anything to you but for a profession where personal telephones on desks aren't really needed - im pretty stoked. I won't call no-one. I won't let no-one call me but I could! I won't. But I got something I don't need and that smacks of luxury...I like, its deluded but I like it.
One thing that is apparent(with me feeling I'll after a week-long work marathon), is how if you let yourself(get sick) become your own enemy, you will become your worst enemy and let yourself down.(got sick) Just a thought.
