Getting a Grip

Hey everyone, I know the posts have been few and far between around here lately.  What it comes down to is me working 6 days a week now, and that's only because I came to an understanding with the project.  Most of the rest of the team is working 7 days a week.  It's a nightmare, and, generally, I don't have the 20 minutes or so I need every day to come up with a post any more.

Hopefully, I will be able to come to grips with the project when we finally reach our (delayed twice already) release date.  I don't have high hopes.

Expect intermittent posts to continue.

Over the weekend, Ladybug and I stole a Sunday afternoon together.  Sister-in-law is in town, so she took the kids, and we went to a movie and dinner.  Saw The Bank Job which was actually a pretty darn good crime thriller, though I was beginning to despair of ever seeing Jason Statham kick anyone.  He does.  At the end.  But it's not a kicking people film.  So don't go expecting that.  Do go expecting to see rather a lot of tits and ass.  And, of course, loads of plot twists and some guy who looks superficially like John Lennon.  He plays John Lennon.  It's not high cinema, to be sure, but it's a departure work for Statham, and that makes it worth seeing.  If you like Statham.  Which I do.

After that, dinner, and talking without being interrupted every two minutes.  I think we had forgotten what that's like, because we both kept stopping mid-sentence, almost like we need interruptions now to line up our next thoughts.  The both of us are in mid-freak-out about the new baby, and the way things are going around the house (Ladybug was home late for the first part of the week, I was home late on Friday - suffice it to say, the house went to hell).  I think we need a vacation from the children.  Or a vacation with the children, but also with a nanny for the children.  We've both gotten very short with them.  I really hate that I am getting short with them, and that it's because of the state of affairs at work.  I need to find a way to refocus once I leave work.  Of course, it would help if I ever actually left work.  I'm basically on call all the time now.  Which makes things hard. 

Very hard. 

So, there it is, I've circled back to where I started.  Work is taking up too much of my life these days, and there is no clear end in sight.  We'll see when the next post happens.
