Launch Time
Posted: 2008-04-16 19:52:19
Last week at work, we released a huge website that had a ridiculously tight deadline, was changed dramatically from day to day and was designed by a giant advertising firm that the company I work for is hoping to partner with, so we had to deliver on time. That meant that I put in almost 12 hours on Wednesday and 14 on Thursday. I got Friday off, but did have to field two calls to bug fix, one at 1 am and one at 8:30 am, and then another around noon.
As bad as that probably sounds, my coworker who called me at 1 am worked almost constantly from Wednesday morning until after noon on Friday. By almost constantly, I mean that he took off about 1 hour, twice a day to drive his girlfriend back and forth to work, because they share a car. He ate his meals at his desk and didn't sleep.
We have another project that I'm working on that's launching this week and another that was supposed to launch a couple of weeks ago, but still isn't ready and will launch whenever it's complete. Ugh. I guess I'm just going to have to hang on for the ride, and hope to get onto some more big projects that don't launch for a few weeks.
