Rise a bit later (today is a day off from the gym), sitting, and then into work. A full morning of meetings and status updates. We're still on track for a release tomorrow - I'm reasonably confident that we'll get there for a change. A few things added to the requirement, mostly data, so we're able to absorb it. Normally in the project world, this would generate a significant amount of work - change control, approvals, etc. In our world, we're blessedly a bit more flexible.
Part of the reason I remain working in this organization (rather than seeking other employment) is that, despite the rapid change and demands of the job, we have a strong team that is technically adept and extremely flexible. I can't overstate the value (to me, at least) of a team like this; and it's the combination of the business and IT resources, not just one or the other. My experience is that you can survive if one half or the other is highly functioning, but to really succeed, you need both.
-------------------------------------
Fly through the work day, ending with the weekly status meeting. Many things coming to completion at the same time, so Friday will be a scheduling challenge.
Home to a quick dinner of leftovers, True Blood, practice, then bed.
