saturday blues.
I had my day mostly planned.
1) drink coffee.
2) do taxes.
3) take stuff to goodwill.
4) maybe go to gym.
5) do some family research.
6) watch tv/movie.
7) fix one plumbing issue. maybe both.
I always have extra work to do at my job. always. it's a given. but, i really thought i could slack this weekend, and not go in. now, i got an email which means probably another 10 hours of support time. along with the 10 hours I got from last week.
every "one hour" request turns into many hours due to the fact that the sites were not developed with the additions that are being currently requested in mind.
this on top of two app rewrites which need to happen, which were going to be my weekend projects in the next two weeks, as part of my monthly goals. and the deployment of a new file server.
if (and this is a big if) my next major project didnt launch this coming week, i might have had time to fit this all into my normal schedule, but with security scanning and reporting, and these new requests which "must be completed by next friday" (I call shenanigans, btw!) I can't possibly get it all done.
"oh it should only take an hour or two" from one faction who has no idea what's involved equals 10-12 hours of misery for me.
i need to get dressed and go to work.
