Though yesterday was frantically busy, it does feel like I'm slowly making progress with work. I have one gigantic project that continues to lumber forward. It involves loading and processing millions of records a day, so it's a bit exciting professionally. I did have some comical instances of different people telling me to make changes to an application in completely different ways. Even directors got into the mix, making "executive decisions" that were later overturned by the owner of the application. It's good that my job makes me laugh.

Well, I wouldn't say I was actually caught up with work, but there's a lot of things crossed off on my list. I'm also making good progress on one of my big projects. It involves fiddling with millions of rows of data, hence my time being able to post while a big conversion happens.

I've still got plenty of do, but hopefully I won't be stressed out when we take our vacation to the coast next week.

On occasion, I run into some fairly weird computer bugs. We're testing out a Google product that indexes our internal web pages. I wasn't really involved with setting it up, though I was somewhat aware of it.

It turns out it was able to get to some poorly secured pages. Since it's job is to follow hyperlinks, it basically clicks on anything it can find, including those labeled "Delete" and "Update".

I've fixed the immediate problem when I got paged at 5 am this morning. Hopefully there's not more unpleasant surprises waiting for me.

I was a coding machine yesterday, pushing code into live and finishing up projects left and right. I got to work a bit early, downed a mocha, and proceeded to hunker down and finish things up. My incredibly lengthy list is now feeling much more reasonable.

Today I've got a big go-live first thing in the morning, then it's finishing up several of the smaller projects as well as forging ahead with one of the big ones.

The good news is that my stress levels are down. Hopefully my weekend-working habit will be a thing of the past.
