Good lord, the last few weeks have been *punishing* at work. Whether it’s having to stick around ’till the build’s finished, which has basically ensured constant 12-14 hour days, or the fact that bugs are streaming in *constantly* still due to a really, really late rampup on QA, every day has just been a nonstop barrage of information, questions, work, issues, whatever. It’s like the time before E3, when I was doing three people’s jobs, each of which was different, except now it’s all compressed, and every fix is critical.

After the checkin window closed this afternoon, I fixed another bug, then just lied down on the floor outside my cube. A coworker walked by and told me there were ice cream treats in the freezer, so I walked over to the kitchen, and had the best ice cream sandwich I’ve ever had.

I just need a morning to sleep in, or an afternoon outside in the sun. I feel like I’ve been physically beat up every day for the last week. This is … lessee… not counting the day the car broke down, and I spent the day answering e-mail from home on the 3rd, … yeah. I haven’t had a day off all month.
