This is the first time I've been on holiday break in years that I haven't had something I had to get through first before I could relax.
Historically, it's been finals. Between grad school, biz school, and being the longest running SITN dilettante in Stanford's history--I've been taking various grad courses since 1989--I've always seem to have a final or final project to crank before I can relax.
Last year was a double header--finals, and a web site update that had been dropped on the floor by a departing PM, which I then had to pick up, dust off, and get the damned thing pushed anyway. It had to be pushed the day before I was to leave for SoCal with Chuq, and we had a week to get something right that should have been worked on for six weeks. We pulled it off.
This year? Nope--took off a quarter from Stanford, and for some reason, there are no "oh shit" moments to clean up after. Yeah, there are some nigglies to track, but that's about it.
It's a very odd feeling. If anyone is out there from the Big Red A, this is not a request for a crisis--thanks!
