A week from heck
Wrapping up my part of a project that I thought I’d be done with in 15 minutes…
Well, actually, it did take about 15 minutes. but I had to wait for the 15 minutes to occur. See, we’re trying a new way of interfacing the machines, and a piece of software was missing. So a bunch of people had to jump through hoops to get that piece of software so I could do what I had to do, and finally, I got it, nearly on my last day in town. So a little playing around and it’s working like a charm, and finally I get to go home.
Yeah, it’s never the actual fixing that takes the time. It’s all the preparation that does.
Sort of like the clipper ship became the pinnacle of wind power just as sail was supplanted by steam.
Sort of like your keys are always in the last place you look. You finish the away gig on the last day.
It always works that way.
You’re welcome.

In my experiences of hurry up and wait, it’s how you use the “dead” time that makes the trip a roaring success or simply “mission accomplished”.
Usually, it’s best to carpe the diem and take advantage of local geographic opportunities, but other times, simply relaxing and recharging can be much more rewarding.
