The Work Project From Hell is finally, finally over. And, happily, it came to a great conclusion, at least for my end of things. Some people were disappointed that the jury judged The Project too favorably, but honestly, I'm happy it was. You don't spend eight months of your work life devoted to a single project and not want it given a favorable review.
The best thing? All the values in The Project that I emphasized -- readability, unified concept, collegiality, honesty -- were the ones the jury said came through. The only downside is that one of the areas we were demerited on was an area I directly control in my everyday work life.
I was just one cog among many in this Project. I really feel like I had a secondary role, even though I was responsible for half the printed material and a supermajority of the quantitative data and analysis. Other members of the team deserve far more credit, including the one person who did most of the project management. But, you know? We were a pretty damn good team. The person who originally was going to run The Project would not have run it as a team, but as a dictatorship, and I feel that that would have doomed The Project.
So. Back to my real job. And hopefully, back to blogging on a more regular basis. First, I think I'm gonna get pissed.
