Unusual Workday

After a few stressful weeks at work, SuperSweetCo released a new product, along with updates to existing applications and a new website, late last night. Today the team I've been working with were given something of a reprieve / 'thank you', starting with breakfast at Mother's Bistro & Bar from 9:00am to 10:30am, followed by a bit of light work (including some last-minute design work that I had to get done). At around 1:30pm the team went to Kells for some drinks, and then at around 4:00pm we went to Ruth's Chris Steak House for some inexpensive happy hour food and some more drinks (I had the chicken skewers, but a couple others from the team had the bacon-wrapped tenderloin bites that looked delicious). After that, at around 5:00pm we walked up the street to Huber's for some more drinks. It was a great day, and a well-deserved 'recharge' for everybody, where we were able to relax and discuss ideas for the next version(s) of the newly released product.

At about 6:40pm I left Huber's and took the bus homeward, stopping at Mash Tun to hang out with my friend Jenn for a little bit before heading home. Great day, and as I said in the title of this post, an unusual workday, but definitely a good thing, keeping everybody from burning out. More to come I'm sure, as SuperSweetCo has rented out part of Rock Bottom Brewery on Friday from 12:30pm on for a company party to celebrate the launch of all the new products. Hooray!

Recap of the past few days

Work at SuperSweetCo has been nuts lately due to a big product release planned for early next week… loads of last-minute HTML / CSS tweaks to the application, development help for another project, and chipping in on the new company website. In the midst of it all I've gone out the past few evenings (to wind down from work, let K have time to focus on schoolwork, and to catch up with friends). On Tuesday I met up with Snooks & L at Kennedy School for dinner and a few beers, last night I made my triumphant return to Mash Tun to catch up with my good friend Jenn (and of course have a couple beers), and lastly tonight both of my brothers and I were out for dinner and beers at Moon & Sixpence. That's right, the three of us invaded Moon & Sixpence, and came dangerously close to draining their vast beer supply, so great is our combined beer-drinking power. 🙂
