Much work

The last week was quite hard, we had a lot of stress at work. Actually there was a deadline on Tuesday where we would have presented our work to our customer but we didn't manage to get ready with our stuff. The whole week before we've been working a lot just to hold this deadline and although it didn't work. Constantly new problems were popping up and as soon as one problem was solved the solution caused the next one. Software development really drives you crazy sometimes. On some days I got home from work, went to bed because it was already late, got up the other morning and went back to work. This is not fun, but it's ok because it's only for a short period of time. And it's a very focussed way of working, nothing distracts you, the whole team works towards a common goal. But missing the goal then leaves a greater feeling of dissatisfaction.

But today everything is forgotten, because it's Labor Day, everybody has a day off. And because of the overtime collected the last days tomorrow is also free! Yippie!
During this much work I tried not to neglect Yoga too much. Yesterday I practiced in the morning and it was one of the worst practices I've ever had - in every way! Body, breath, concentration, motivaton ... everything was miserable, it was one big struggle. But I went on and on and finished my usual sequence. The essence of such a practice is just not to give up, to go on though it doesn't feel good. Afterwards I was glad that I practiced.
Let's see what this day will bring.
