Long Hard Week

This past month I assumed the role of Build Coordinator at work. This involves managing all the code releases for about fifteen developers in preparation for monthly releases to the production environment. As the scheduled release date approaches the builds get more and more frequent as items are pushed through testing and staged for deployment. Finally, on the night of deployment into the production environment, I have to be on-site until about midnight. We deployed last Thursday.

On Saturday I slept in until noon and then went with Wendy to pick up a used Franklin Stove to install on our back screened in porch. Have you ever tried to move a Franklin Stove? Have you ever tried to lift one into and out of a van? Not too easy, especially for those of us over the age of 40 whose main job consists of sitting on a chair. On Sunday I continued in the new office downstairs installing tongue and groove cedar as wainscoting. This was not too strenuous but did involve a lot of squatting and standing. Today my legs are sore but the office is looking great and the back porch will be a great place this winter.
