Findings of the Work Week

Well, last week I tried to make a little experiment. I just tought what would happen if I really focused on the job from 8am-5pm. My point was trying to prove myself wrong; since I did'nt think it would make a huge performance difference.

Well, no hotmail, no messenger, no blogging... and... here are the findings:

Findings:

Most Important: My perfomance didn't gain a thing from trying to be focused on working. All I got was this huge need on Thursday, Friday, and specially Saturday of not even looking at the screen. I did manage to get work done, however, it was the same as if I have spread the job in more hours.

Most Interesting: In a meeting we had on Monday, I found out ALL my coworkers are late pretty much the same as I am. It's more 'cause of the fact that customers keep inventing features and middle management keeps dreaming that you can actually be on schedule when that's happening.

Saddest: My coworkers suffer this delusion that if they stay 'till dawn at work, they will be on schedule, and that that's what they should be doing.

Funniest: One guy who actually did work 'till dawn several days nearly had a seizure during the office. The poor guy kept counting his discussion items as "Second point!" even though he said like six.

Most Expected: No matter how hard I tried to work, even if I were the fastest programmer in this country, I would have ended being late. On Thursday they added (and removed, and changed) buttons, screens, and functions. Of course, they would like them to be ready this week for tests.
