Not Near Enough ...

Today's title comes from the REM song Near Wild Heaven, which I've been listening to earlier, and is a nice suitable title for this evening's blog.

This evening I'm enjoying the benefits of the bank holiday by procrastinating all the 'weekend' tasks to the Sunday. I have to say, although the net efficiency gains are non-existent, sitting here nicely laid-back, listening to music knowing I don't have to go to work tomorrow is very nice; and if I was to update you on my mood, it'd be relaxed.

The title is suitable because this coming Friday, Chrissi arrives for a stay of a little over a week. I'm very much looking forward to that, although it's not near enough (there's the link!).

The main flipside to this Friday still being a long way away is the big release at work on Friday which is going to consume a lot of my time this coming week; add to that finalising the development list for the next phase and producing proof-of-concept specification documents, all the while jumping through ad-hoc positioned hoops, and it's going to be a busy few days! As I mentioned the other day, I really enjoy the action and activity surrounding this part of my new role - but that doesn't mean I'm not still going to be drained of energy and cursing it's existence by the end of the week!

Another positive to add is that once the draining week is over (and even on the last day of the draining week) you will have someone there more than willing to give you a relaxing backrub because you've worked so hard :)
