the little victories of mr patatas in patatas inc.

I love this part of any job, the sending of the final product. Work usually starts slow, then slower. After much frustration, the pace speeds up. Then coffee and cigarettes fuel the drive to finish the dang thing, and soon you reach the dang crest. Just one final (humongous) road bump, and you know it'll be over.

Everything becomes a haze at this point, thanks largely to now-bitter coffee, atrocious cigarettes, and an almost-finished-but-not-quite-yet work.

Then, all of a sudden, it's done.

And like the post-climax of any movie (or story), everything gradually goes back to normal.

Just one more thing to do--send it.

That's what I'm doing right now, while writing this. A form of celebration perhaps of the work just done.

I love this part. But then again, what is to love?

There's shitload to do still, and I'm not event factoring in my thesis.


Dang, I hate this...
