All Work and No Play

Work has finally picked up. This is due my big project getting back under way after being on hold for two months. (a side note about design engineering work, a project has phases. Most projects consist of a few different submissions of progress sets before final construction ready documents.) So, to continue my story, our last progress set was back in October for a 35% design set. The project was then put on hold mid-February, because some Admiral was reconsidering how the Navy should set up their housing for enlisted men. Fast forward to mid-April, my work gets a call to start back up the project with a due date for our 75% progress set on May 30th. Not bad, we were given six weeks to get the project from 35% to 75%. But fortunately or unfortunately, a week and a half ago, the contractor changed their minds. My project due date was moved up to May 14th. This new due date has required me to spend a few hours the past two Saturdays here:
It is very nice to being working hard for a change. I do not enjoy boredom.
