Balancing Priorities

Today was a hard day to come into work. It was a day between a public holiday and a weekend and I had a big night last night. There was also another teams event which I had promised my poker partner that I would attend.

I pushed my weary body to work early and cleaned up what was a surprisingly busy day. My day became much worse in the afternoon - one of our customers has a habit of planning network changes on a Friday afternoon, and equipment/configs are most likely to dail when such work is being done. I ended up landing an emergency and was stuck in the office until evening working on a product I barely know. By the time the fault was finished, I could not make it to poker in time and had to let down my partner - even if I had made it there, i was mentally shot and very tired from the night before.

I ended up watching a little football before passing out on the lounge. I felt like I was in good spirits from last night, its amazing how fast things can change.
