Score one for the Rockstar bitches. After frustration after frustration with this client I finally got one in the bag. I as the client put it earned a 'get out of jail free' card. When I got in, I was already stressed because I knew I would have to present and I had a few things left on my open issues spreadsheet that were looking challenging. The good news is that after a weekend away from them, the challenge level diminished as I got into the details. We were scheduled to start presenting our different pieces at 1pm until we were done. There were three other colleagues presenting their parts before me. I worked my ass off so when I walked in, my confidence level was high. My colleagues had been raked over the coals for almost three hours by the time my turn came around. I was called in around 4:45 and we started going through my 88 line checklist. Roughly 40 something minutes later I had just a couple of aesthetic issues left (2 of which I fixed right then and there) and 2 code issues which I am taking care of this morning. Otherwise BAMF. Shit was done and ready. Got the client calmed down and scored one for the team. Oh yeah.
I still ended up working an 11 hour day but at least I accomplished something.
TGF had dance last night and stayed at her place. I got home around 6 something, almost 7 and had some dinner with the kid, watched bad TV until about 9 and then went to bed. I figured I would sleep for an hour or so before TGF called after dance. She called at 10:40 and I was so out of it we had a five minute conversation. I slept solid the rest of the night. Woke up this morning feeling mostly refreshed for once.
I have to get through these other two issues this morning but feel good about them. I know yesterday's victory was just that - yesterday but I am feeling good today.
