I took on a little side project from another team last Wednesday. Considering the size of the packet I received I estimated I would complete it by middle of this week. Friday morning the other team's manager came up to me asking for a more specific report on my progress, at this point I thought this project may have been more important than I first realized so I decided to buckle down and told her I will have it done by end of business Monday, which is today.

I just got back from picking my lunch up and I bumped into her (the other team's mgr) on the way back in, she asked how I was doing and I was happy to say, still ahead of schedule. Even when the deadline was bumped up to the max I was still able to get myself ahead of that schedule, basically flying full speed thinking I hadn't given myself any room to breathe, and I had plenty. Of course, I didn't tell her all of that, but she informed me that when I get done with this project she has another one waiting. What??? I should slow down! To top it off, my regular work is piling up so much I might have to come in early for the rest of the week and take some spreadsheets home.

BTW, I have not forgotten my promise to Carissa to get her birthday pictures up by Tuesday, I guess I didn't specify which Tuesday though so I might still be in the clear, just depending on her mood when she reads this :)

Alright, gotta eat my lunch, no time left to waste.
