And so here we are, in the last days of a major project. It's hectic, to say the least. Many wandering paths of the Pert chart have converged, and we all ride the critical path now. "Everyone is talking to everyone else about everything." The emails are relentless, and there are meetings between meetings after other meetings. Emails, phone calls, and AIM messages cram into all the times between like spackling. Hectic. But this is what we live for - isn't it? The project is hungy now, hungry for the tired, hungry for the weak, hungry for those who would blame. It will cross the finish line now due to momentum, regardless if we fail and pass out along the way.

And when we cross that line, after someone has pushed the button, there will be no multitudes of cheering folks, no waiting throng to take us on their shoulders. We will simply exhale, and maybe close our eyes for a moment or two. There isn't time for much else, for another major project awaits.

Hectic.
