Let me start by apologizing to my loyal blog readers who helped me realize I did not post anything for a week. I ended up working long hours, with almost no room for entertainment (that includes blogging).

Here’s a short summary of the week:

I have to say I’m proud of myself. I didn’t do any work over the last weekend. I did a lot of other computer related stuff, but nothing for my clients. Zero billable hours.

The week didn’t start too good. I figured out I was getting less and less productive with one of my customers. I’m working on few simultaneous projects for him. Each of them requiring maintenance and changes, which eventually lead me to spend 80% of my time dealing with little requests and 20% implementing new features. This is what happens when you deliver a product that is 90% completed and you never get a change to go back and fix those little glitches. So anyways, I had a talk with the client and explained he my new plan. I will stop developing new stuff for few days and concentrate on wrapping up whatever is already in production. He wasn’t too happy in the beginning, but I did manage to make him understand. Things are back to normal now and I learned my lesson.

Entertainment of the day (Monday): An ex-co-worker talking loud on his cell and his explanation why he talks so loud: “Because my friend on the other end was talking too quiet and I couldn’t hear him”. Hmmm…

The rest of the week just flew by. I don’t even remember all the stuff that I accomplished this week. Is that normal? Am I getting old? Another good reason to get back to daily blogging.

Picture: Today’s weather. We have 4 seasons in Saskatchewan: Winter, winter, summer and winter. Summer is really beautiful, but it only lasts one weekend. That was last weekend.
