Officially, I’m on the downhill slide into the end of my work term up north. I passed the midway point yesterday morning, actually, but I’m just seeing some light at the end of the tunnel now. 

It’s been pretty intense to say the least. One guy was told yesterday by the PM to ‘get it done or I’ll find you a bus home.’ So, the pressure is on to get problems resolved… it makes every other work situation I’ve been in look like a fucking bike ride. 

My timesheet this week is going to have 44 hours of overtime on it. While the overtime is good, there isn’t a lot of financial incentive from the company to come up here for a second term. If you’re a professional engineer in this company, you don’t make 1.5x on overtime. I’m not a professional engineer so I’m enjoying the extra boost… but I get paid less to start with so maybe it’s a wash. Whatever. 

I’m just super exhausted, these long days are wearing on me. But I just gotta push through and keep grindin’.
