Aug. 16th, 2008 01:54 pmI was dangerously near learning enough about the project I was on to actually get something done, when my boss came over to talk to me yesterday before lunch. "Got a minute?" he asks. "Sure," I say, and he leads me over to a conference room (which is how I know it's serious).
Turns out I'm getting moved over to a different project -- I have the impression that if I'd thrown a hissy fit I could've prevented it, but hey, the new project is interesting too, one of my favorite things that the company is doing, and I'd rather look like a mature, flexible person (possibly at the expense of not looking like a passionate, committed person? who knows).
So now I've got a whole new chunk of codebase to learn before I can be useful, that'll be fun. I spent Friday getting started on that and it seems like it's going faster than the first time through this routine, undoubtedly because now I've learned some of the company-specific stuff I can apply it to both. Hopefully.
Sublet is fine -- small, but I knew that. Next weekend is Cape Cod, and the weekend after is moving, so I'm tempted to just sort of chill this weekend: tv, bike rides, reading, maybe beach, maybe cooking (gotta ask temporary roommates about dishes), maybe home. Hurrah for an excuse for a lazy weekend. :)
