In the middle

I'm in the middle of the hardest time of my life... so far. At this rate, it seems like every six months I have a mountain to climb. My current project has turned out to be a bear. I can't seem to meet a deadline, then even when I do I still get my butt kicked. The truth is that I was no where near prepared to manage a project like this. I've learned a lot in the process, but it has really been tough.

The up side is that this will be the finest broadcast facility I have ever designed. There are a lot of little customizations that really make the system easy to use. I've had the opportunity to work with some of the finest equipment I've ever touched. The problem is that I've had almost no fun. Every other project has been fun. This one has just been 14 hour day after 14 hour day with almost no satisfaction.

I've said... even bragged about how inadequate I am. Now I've realized how true that is. I'll finish the project and I'll walk away with a lifetime of knowledge.
