That design was supposed to take 2 days worth of work, maybe 1.5. I wrote it up for about an hour and a half over two weeks, and then tossed it to my boss, with a 'pick a direction'. I didn't want to spend too much time drawing out design stuff for a direction we might not follow.
If he picks the one I favor (but am not 100% sure of), that doc will be done in about three hours. Yay, for bringing them in under hours. Now to merge and check my team's latest changes and see what blows up. After that, I need to draft out training for M. for the on-call cell phone rotation, and run him through it, I think. That assumes:
(a) no emails allowing me to move forward on more important tasks
(b) no emails with new crises
(c) that my boss agrees, but I think he will - more people on the rotation is an important thing.
Oh, yeah. It also assumes I get this done before I hit the "next task is lunch" moment. :)
