Oct 25-26 2009: Ready, Set………, Launch

Oct 26, 2009 by Rochelle

I’m combining this post between the 25 and 26.

Yesterday was the big product launch. The one that I’ve been working so hard on. It should be noted that my work on this project was a drop in the bucket compared to some of my co-workers who did amazing things to get this thing launched. It took us about five years and now it’s out there! My part of the puzzle was to make all the help web pages surrounding our new environment.

So I finished up my work around 3 and then the waiting began. The launch kept hitting bumps and the launch got pushed out. Finally at 12:40 a.m., I got the e-mail I had been waiting for! The product was launched and it was time for me to put my web pages in place. That took about twenty minutes and then I was finally free to go to bed. Of course, though, my brain didn’t shut off right away and so it was nearly two when I really fell asleep. And then before I knew it, it was 6:30 and time to get up.

Anyway, what a weekend. I truly feel like I worked for most of it (ten hours on Saturday, five hours on Sunday), and so I feel like I’m on my eighth workday in a row. I will admit that I am not in the best of moods today and I’ve already gotten quite bitchy with some of my co-workers, but that’s how it goes.

This afternoon we’re doing interviews for a new position in our communications department. I hope I don’t come off as the ragged bitchy girl. That would be bad
