Everybody’s working for (a) weekend.
So I’ve been hitting sort of a roadblock this week; A co-worker of mine at my day job has been out sick for about 2 weeks. Normally this would mean that I’d work an extra day or maybe a couple days a week stay a few hours later to cover. However, in this case, another co-worker took vacation that was already approved before my sick co-worker needed time off. My job is a union job, so managers will always adhere to approved vacations. This meant I had to cover the morning shift for 14 straight days. As I’m writing this, I’ve just completed 10 of those days, so I’m on the other side of this. But I’m really looking forward to 2 consecutive days off; as it is I haven’t been able to really put the time into the capstone project as I want to. I’m not trying to make a big deal out of this though; I’m confident I can get where I want to be with an actual 2-day weekend next week.
Re-drawing the Roadmap
We found out this week from a teaching assistant that we needed to overhaul our project plan which, honestly, was exactly the truth. We restructured the plan and, in turn, created a clearer path to success for ourselves moving forward. I know I personally feel a lot better knowing what is expected of me, and when it is expected.
Moving forward
Going to work with one of my group members this weekend. I feel confident I can get the model stuff done on Saturday, I’ll have about 12 hours to dedicate to it. Apart from that, I should have at least 2 days off next week, which I plan on spending at least 12 hours of that time catching up to a place where I feel more comfortable.
Also -> Countdown to baby: 22 Weeks. My wife is going shopping this weekend for nursery furniture with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. I did NOT know nursery furniture was so EXPENSIVE…Pray for our bank account.
