This thing dragged on for like a year. Not because of a lack of my working on it, but moreso a series of technical issues that came up and only I could deal with.

Then all of a sudden it became an emergency. One month to finish up and roll out. And it's not that it wasn't ready, but there was certainly a number of little things that still needed handling.

Except 1 week after the new deadline, I start a two week vacation, already planned and approved.

That vacation started on Friday. I'm yet to look at my work phone or email. It's in my bag, powered on. I texted my boss today, just because I saw something cool I thought he'd be interested in.
