    I must be mad.....

    I've worked out that i'm actually happier at work if i've got millions of things to do more than i've got time in the day for. Days disappear faster than i've ever know and I feel so on form its fantastic.

    Talk about job satisfaction, doesn't matter if anyone cares if its all working. Its all my responsibility and i take great pride in getting it right

    Bring on further empire building

    I agree with you TiG. My work is dead at the moment and has been for a while, bar a few 'peaks'. I really enjoy when I'm busy and being pushed to do new things.

    Something I don't get often now... I've been spending my work days reading books ! : )

    Document policy is next on my list and the version control of the non development department is SHOCKING, i've checked one of our customer files and found 7, yes 7 versions, unlabelled of the same documents in different directories off the main sub folder.
    Heavens above sir!!

    On a more serious note, i think you should keep it up Sounds like a hell of a job, but if you're enjoying it then good on yer!

    Good for you I agree... I hate not having enough to do and love the buzz of being really busy and having tight deadlines....
    ...ok, its not quite so much fun when all those "things to do" are changing nappies etc etc, but the rewards are still there, just rather different!! (and better of course!! )


    I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.... It was them that started me drinking.
