Run and Tumble

My paying gig is writing programs for the government under contract.  One of those contracts is coming due this week and we’re in crunch mode to add a little polish.  My local group is already aware that I’m taking microbiology classes and is fine with it.

The tech lead and the guy who got the contract work in a different office and were not aware of this until today.  I was nervous, but straightforward, and told them I had to bug out of the office for an hour and a half for lecture.  They’re both awesome guys and had no problem whatsoever.

I’m taking it as a sign that I found lecture to be relaxing.  I came back to the office and did a better job with the rest of the evening than I would have if I just worked through the entire night.
