The work week that lies behind me, was brutal to say it simply. The pressure
put on my team by a certain customer is so high, that the team is slowly buck-
ling under the pressure. In my opinion it is not fair to treat a supplier like
this, but I feel like a Don Quichote when I try to do something about it. The
people in my team are very highly skilled people and they care a lot about the
things they build. Extending the team on short notice just isn't feasible. In
my opinion this specialism should be nurtured, not be put under so much press-
ure.
But okay. I can feel that this all is eating away at my own staying power as
well. Today is a Saturday and it is now 16:00 in the afternoon. I have used the
major part of this day sleeping in bed and on the couch to begin feeling a bit
more like myself again. This is just too much I think. You should not need to
use this much of your own time to "get back to the living" in my humble opinion.
But OK, I'm feeling a bit better now, and decided to let you know what happened.
Oh yeah, I sent my car's radio off for repairs. The touch screen became unres-
ponsive and that is no fun when you want to use the radio controls. I found a
repair shop in Germany, so they will be replacing the screen including the touch
part of it in the coming week. Hope to get the unit back soon, as driving around
without music and news is not something I particularly like.
