It's Sunday and I'm at work.

This in itself is not unusual, I quite often go into the office at the weekend to work on my own projects. It's a quiet location with a nice stereo system and coffee machine which make it 'not so quiet'.

This Sunday however, is different. Tomorrow the product I've been helping get into shape since leaving University last June finally goes out. DriveWorks 6 SP0.0 is about to be released to the masses and boy that is exciting.

We actually finished the product on Friday, but in order for it to go out tomorrow the installers need finalising, start menu shortcuts, executable names and paths, help needs linking in and final logos for the Installshield project need throwing in. (Ok, I admit I have one or two tasks in the actual product that need ploughing through, but I've known about them for a week now and just haven't gotten around to doing anything about them!).

I'm happy to give up my Sunday to do this - as my own projects have hit that brick wall where I can't seem to gather any motivation to push into them. Having spent the entirety of yesterday walking in circles and getting nothing done, sinking into a frustrated depression over this seeming incredibly likely - it's nice to have some goals and targets given to me to work with.

Therapy by work - it's the future.
