With everything in life you have the option to complain or try to make the best out of the situation you’re in. It’s less than ideal that my day job is eating up close to all my byflock time, but I do have a choice.
I can walk out or stick to just doing my 8 hours a day and leave the team and the work in what ever state it is in. That is not who I am though. I have taken on this project and I’m seeing it through. I’m not leaving the project or the team at risk so it is what it is. On the upside the project will only run for a while longer. However, it is having massive implications on byflock. I keep shifting between being ok with it to being furious, but the bottom line is that I have the choice to say “This is not what I signed up for” and terminate my contract.
I have chosen not to and because of that I have to make the best out of the situation. And that means looking at what can be done on our company and products in the time up to when my contract ends. It’s about identify the little tasks that keeps moving us forward on a day by day basis and helps set us up for the next phase. And when you look at all of these tasks, they are there in abundance so as bad as it is that I, right now, don’t have bigger chunks of time to dedicate to specifying our products, or setting up meetings, there are things that can be done to progress.
Every day is good for something. You just have to figure out what that is and adjust accordingly.
