“Deadline! Here we go again,” I don't know why I'm like this. The whole week passed, and I spent it doing almost nothing. No, not absolutely nothing, it was like I didn't care much and took things easy and guess what, tomorrow is the deadline with a surprise presentation on the progress. I've so much in my mind, so much to explain about architecture and so but how am I gonna visualize these within such a short time? That's the dilemma I'm in right now.
So, to make a proof-of-concept, I'm staying up all night. Yeah, there were days when I used to sip on the coffee mug at 1.00 am to stay awake and watch movies, and here I'm once again, sipping on the coffee mug to stay prepared for the next day's preparation.
Well, hear me out, the stuff on my mind, the plans I'm aiming to go for, are absolutely outstanding, but the thing is, I might not make everything ready to present. How sad this is!
Okay, it's been some time since I was on the screen, back on the keyboard to take a short break from those messy lines of code.
Well, I have almost completed a PoC; it's almost 90% ready to present before the team. Why it's 90% not full 100% is what makes me laugh, like a silly mistake. If I go to correct that one now, I will be in deep shit and mess up the whole thing. So, it's just a tiny scratch that I hope no one will notice. I got the explanation ready for the wild case.
Actually, it's always been like this; most of my actual tasks get done at such late hours. I wish my company could realise this and grant me remote duty during nights. Because during office hours, we can barely focus for eight hours straight. Half gets utilised at max. But at home? When we get the proper synchronization, one hour is worth four hours of work. I was on the chair for three hours straight, two cups of coffee, and two or three give ten minutes of breaks. Guess what, instead of two, I do have two PoC now, one is completely ready, and the other is gonna be explanatory. I am making the infrastructure, and I will try to get that done as much as I can to represent the team.
Trust me, if I could work with this much attention and dedication throughout the whole week, I might have implemented the whole thing already. Not my fault, not like I'm willing to stay back, it's the environment and their decisions that are causing this turmoil. If they can't read us, they can't reach us, then how are we gonna cooperate with them? Not possible, conflicts.
So yeah, I started with tons of stress on touching the deadline, and guess what, ending this writing with something fruitful that I would be able to showcase the ideas as PoC and more.
