Still crazy-busy, trying to get everything done in time so I can leave in peace and content for Christmas feasting and general merrymaking in Germany. It's exciting - all of it, even the hard work we're putting in. I've always worked well under pressure, it makes me feel alive, like I'm really *doing* something here. The nights are getting cold now ( Read more... )

So busy. We have an insane deadline and have been scrambling. This means I'm in top form, at the peak of creativity. I thrive on the adrenalin, it's right here that I'm at my best. My dinner consisted of Danish Butter Cookies and leftover sour cream. And yet, I'm pumped.

PS: All my LJ friends hate me. Nobody's talking anymore, lol.

Mostly on European schedule this week for the project - which means I'm now done as it's after 7pm on the other side of the pond and everyone has gone home. Out here in Lalaland it's 10am, the day has just begun. It's a schedule well-suited for natural nightowlishness ( Read more... )

Yeah, yeah, woe is me. But there are days like this and sometimes it has to be spelled out. Listening to S's rant, I' ( Read more... )

Have been insanely busy with work. Boring in the LJ entry way but rather prosperous, heh. Have been on a few dates, saw friends. This weekend I will do nothing at all... Short of work out and some major online browsing for NEEDFUL THINGS! I've been in such a shopping mood, it's not even funny.

1. Do you work hard or do you take the easy way out?
Work hard, get things done, then take it easy and *enjoy* doing so. I'm far less industrious when it comes to running personal errands and such, and have no problem lazing about doing nothing at all. But I'm a professional too and at work, will act accordingly. Can't stand slackers when it comes ( Read more... )

Work's been superbusy, have to go up to SFO again. Will try to combine it with a weekend this time and stay for a couple of days. Tim will most likely be in town so that should be fun ( Read more... )
