Finally! Work!
My coworker and I have been nominated for the positions of "office heroes." We're about to start developing a project that has a 10-day turnaround! This, when our other projects are expected to have a 2-month turnaround. Similar scope, by the way.
I could be upset, freaked out, nervous, name it. But no! My reaction: FINALLY! It's been over a month, and this is seriously the first major assignment we've been given that has any real-world implications.
I hate to make generalizations about ivory-tower academia or about government bureaucracy, but my first thought each day is, "Typical. Think big thoughts, dream big dreams, but before you act—nitpick."
::::Sigh::::
