day Off

Well, after stressing about work way too much, I'm taking tomorrow off as a Mental Health Day. We used to have them at work sometimes if we'd just had too much. Hadn't had one in awhile, and due to the consultants being there, and the questions that they're asking, I was stressing. I like to think that I've done alot of good at Signal, and that the network design is far better than when I started, and that the consultants' review can just be viewed as a peer-review, and I do crave feedback. But with every question, I feel worse about my competence. They seem to expect that every process is documented, that every setting of every server is documented. That's all great and fine, but we're not there, and I just feel like I'm going to be graded on this. And my programming is far better than my network administration (well, I've been programming for 9 years professional, and network admin'ing for only 3.5 years, so...). So, and I are taking a day off tomorrow (well, she already had it off, but anyways). We're going to have a nice brunch, go see Harry Potter (4th movie), and just hang out tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully I'll de-stress, and realize that it's just a peer review. And when they're done, they'll tell me to implement all of this documentation, and process, and create process, and then I'll get work done in the after hours I'll have so much process to work through. Fun fun fun. Edit: Oh, and let it NOT be said that is NOT very nice. She is going with me to the movie on the FIRST day. Usually a no-no with her. (Because people are stupid and talk through movies and kick seats, she says. There is a special Hell for people who talk through movies (assuming [that] you believe in Hell in the first place).)
