(Slightly) Failing the work-life balance game

I'm working uncomfortably close to a deadline at this very moment. On the one hand, I must begin the 10 hour journey with the family to our vacation destination. On the other hand, I must release a new (software) build today.

Right now, it's looking like I'm packing the laptop and "enjoying" the comforts of our accommodations while everyone else enjoys the vacay.

I could bitch about being understaffed or multiple demands on different projects. It'd be true, but it wouldn't be the cause. I did this one to myself, I'm afraid. Go me!

Also, not packed yet.
