The end of a very long year
Filed by NinjaDoll on November 17th, 2007

It was very nice to walk out of the office today and see Broos with tongs in hand, presiding over the burgers on the grill. Reminded me of the first time I met him, when he was doing the very same thing at a SimuCon office gathering =) Ah, the memories. I haven’t seen him in a kilt recently, so I can’t tell you if his knees are still sexy =P

Today felt like the finish of a marathon. I didn’t put in 12-14 hours a day like some, but the stress of not knowing the subject matter really took its toll. Yet even as the pressure mounted towards launch date, I knew what needed to be done the next time around. It’s a small triumph. There are some things that scream universally from all businesses. Inefficiency and waste is the same all over. Pisses me off, frankly. I hate inefficiency and waste, even when I’m responsible for it. Cuz I like to think I don’t indulge in them too much.

I probably do, though. I’ve bought way too many pairs of shoes that, as the euphoria of their purchase subsided, were deemed absolutely gauche and ended up in the Goodwill bin.
