Things have improved at work pretty substantially: I think the some of the boys were right ashamed with themselves and the project as a whole has moved on. So far we have had a four day week, a three day week, and can expect a four day week to start off 2012.
I'm enjoying the light load. Monday Darling and I had a great belated Christmas dinner with friends and it was a little bizarre having to pull ourselves away by nine that evening! Weeks ago, we were staying up with the same friends until three or four in the morning. Even though we were in bed by ten that night I was completely knackered at work on Tuesday. It didn't help that Raja and Xy were having a moving-truck-packing party that evening. After eight hours of lifting and moving heavy things I drove to their house and moved heavy things for another four hours. I had to leave before they were totally finished, exhausted and desperate for bed, and it wasn't a good way to say goodbye. They left town before I got out of work the next day.
Wednesday I came home from work and went straight to sleep, so today I felt great! We're kind of knocking out the work faster than they can print out the checks, so for two weeks now my crew worked half days and got paid in full. Which is nice besides the fact that we are working ourselves out of our jobs :) I came home and sort of stared at the stove for a few minutes - yesterday I had just enough energy to make a stir-fry veggie satay before crashing - but ended up crawling back into bed for another four-hour nap instead!
Now I have The Weekend, the last weekend of the year, a decent amount of money, friends to celebrate it with, and no concrete plans. The only flaw on the horizon (besides, perhaps, the sad imaginary specter of Raja and Xy's moving van trundling into the icy distance) is that we still don't know Darling's exact start-date for his next job. But we have four days to figure that out, and a weekend to spend together in the meantime. Who could ask for more?
