Unsweet revenge

After the guilt I felt last week at not coming into work at the weekend with the rest of the team trying to get a project out of the door, I didn’t feel I could leave them alone this weekend as they struggled to meet a Monday deadline. So now it’s 9PM and we’ve been here since 9AM. It was 31° outside today, and the aircon isn’t working. I’ve been acting as a tester, and it makes me feel even worse as I find another bug…do I classify it as high, or push it under the rug for a while? But the worst thing is that the deadline is artificial…big-boss confided in me two days ago that the go-live date has been pushed back to next Friday, but that I wasn’t to divulge this information in order to keep the momentum going. Given the state of affairs, I think he may be right, but I think we’ll throw in the towel anyway for the night and I’ll face the music on Monday. Feel free to flame me.
