The 110 Hour Week

This has been a 110 hour week. (Give or take a few taxi rides, some blog entries and 45 min helping Pete put lipstick on his PowerPoint pig.)

Sun 13hrs (8am-10am, 13-midnight)
Mon 20hrs (midnight-8pm)
Tue 12 hrs (9am-7pm, 9pm-11pm)
Wed 15.5 hrs (8.30am-10pm, midnight-2am)
Thu 18 hrs (8.30am-2.30am)
Fri 17.5 hrs (7.30am-8.30am, 9am-1.30am)
Sat 14 .25hrs (8.45am-11pm)

The hardest thing about this? That it is all completely in vain.

The second hardest thing? Giving someone a really clear, urgent instruction and seeing them staring at me 5 minutes later as they vacantly watch me give another clear, urgent instruction to someone else.

People's heads crane up from their laptops at any given distraction. It's incredible. Sometimes I do it just spark up a conversation with someone if they will stop.
