Winding down or free falling, you tell me?
So work is finally settling out after months of complete insanity. The What Were We Thinking Project is in a customer enforced code freeze and all that is left is documentation. The WSF Project is completely done except for setting up one of the labs at the customer's location and documentation. Next week, I'm taking a road trip to wire computers together. Until then, I document. Easy, right?
Except I'm crashing. I mean, really crashing. After a six months of 60 hour weeks and being on call every weekend, I'm now scraping rock bottom, energy wise. I'm sleeping 10 hours a night and I'm STILL exhausted. I spent a good chunk of the last two weekends laying out in the sun, doing nothing and it still sounds like a fun way to spend a day. I'm normally not good at sitting still but right now, I just don't seem to have the motivation to do anything else. I can't tell if its allergies, a cold or just work related drain, but I have no go and no will to go. I'm just ... done.
On the up side, wandelrust & omnia_mutantur took us to DeCordova on Saturday. DeCordova is a 35 acre sculpture park in Lincoln. Not only is it a nice motorcycle ride from my house but it is one of the neatest museums in the Boston area, in my not so humble opinion.
It has PINE SHARKS. PINE SHARKS, people! The fact that someone got paid money to build 6+ foot long metal sharks and suspend them in a pine grove makes me SO happy. I want to go back in the winter and see the sharks covered in snow. PINE SHARKS!
Ah hem. Yeah. The rest of the park was pretty cool too. Obviously we didn't walk the entire 35 acres (see lack of energy) but we saw a good chunk of it. We'll have to go back later in the year and see the rest of it.
