workin it

looks like the next couple weeks are going to be all about work, the vocational kind. in order to meet our next deadline at work there is a ton to do in a short amount of time.

at least i’m having fun. i finished the web page design today for a new feature and i’m pretty happy how looks. i’ll have time to user test it some too before we ship and refine it further. at the same time a new engineer on my team is coming up to speed and doesn’t seem to mind that i’m putting him in the middle of some of the rush and bustle. that’s my favorite way to introduce a new engineer to a team, put him right in the midst of the core effort. i think it’s somewhat a mistake to give new folks small tasks out of harms way - they rarely learn much that way or meet everyone unless they’re forced to by necessity. though each person is unique.
