I am back!

It has been quite a year.  I have gone from being a consultant back to being a part-time Project Manager, part-time Programmer, part-time Teacher and part-time Operations Manager.  Unfortunately, my time has been following the standard PM 90/10 rule.  For those who are not familiar with that rule it says: “The first 90% of your project will take the first 90% of your effort, cost and schedule.  The remaining 10% will take the other 90% of your effort, cost and schedule!”.  That is exactly what has been happening but I am now getting to the point where I can breath at least a little.  I am not to the point of being able to work 5 days a week but my To-Do list has actually stopped growing.  I am looking forward to the day when I come to a Saturday and say to myself “Okay, what would I like to do today to have a little fun?”  I don’t mean to be a whiner but I have had very few days off during the last three years and I am getting a little tired, so, I am working on clearing the decks.
