Re: Work load question

[David Loveless <daveloveless -at- gmail -dot- com>]

I find that I go through a daily feast or famine. I come in and have
tons to do until about 3:00. I spend that last hour of my day studying
and training myself on new technologies, design principles, editing,
and whatever suits me or my company best. I'm sure that will change as
our current project ramps up in the coming weeks.

On the other hand, I have worked places where the most accurate job
description I could think of was "Weeks of absolute boredom followed
by minutes of absolute panic."
