Six stupid mistakes...
Marathon work session for a deadline over the last few days... it's going through their testing department over tonight which means I may or may not get called, but probably not. Which means I get a whole night's sleep tonight, in contrast to the 1 a night I've gotten for the last 3 days and then back to the grindstone for 2 more days to get anything touched up that needs it. Crunch time is a bitch...
This was not a good marathon run for me whatsoever. I do this every once in awhile, and it either goes very well or very poorly. I.E. I am either running with all engines revved and everything comes together with a minimum of problems, or I feel like I'm pulling a wagon up a muddy hill while trying to stay awake.
This was one of the latter. You know you're tired, so you try to double-check everything. You're sure you have everything correct in step one, so you move on. At step four you take a quick break and somehow notice you have made a stupid mistake back in step one, and have to go back and repeat a lot of work. Sure it's faster the 2nd time around as you know what you have to do...
I did that about six times that I can think of this time, probably one of my worst ever. Highly annoying. Maybe I'm just getting old, which is an even worse thought. Or the fact that I've cut back on smokie treats and caffeine.
Which is worse... not being able to function by forgoing an addiction, or functioning perfectly but doing so with a much shortened life span? For now I'm choosing the latter.
