Fast and Fiduciary

I have the day off but I'm sure I will get emails like "this can wait til next week but pls fix by tonight" 

I work with three O-6 retired veterans (Navy Captain, Navy Captain, Marine Colonel) and they are all cool with having Zoom meetings tomorrow afternoon to talk about military projects in our portco - I don’t get it. I just want to have the day off to play poker!!!! damn itttt I can’t wait to have days off on Thanksgiving…… 🙏🏼

Q4 is always a grind. Even holidays aren't safe

Which makes Q1 SEC reporting a real grind after that. "It flows downhill"

Ha! I'm currently sitting in my living room, reading this comment. Fun day off, right? Nope, I don't think I've made it thirty minutes today without a phone call to get a sign-off or ground support or something that could be accomplished via a text. In addition, a good 80% of this is in no way a time crunch and does not fall within the critical path of "this can't wait until Monday." First world problems, I suppose!

 

It's an official day off for us - so the majority will take off. That said, there are some who will use a few hours to get caught up on actual work given the enormous number of calls that now exist for every single thing that happens.
