One of Those Days

Ever have one of those days where you did tons of stuff, yet got nothing done?

I'm having one right now. Well, realistically, I just feel like I am because programming tasks (of which I've done none) feel more concrete to me than managerial tasks (of which I've done plenty).

Such is the life of a programmer gone pointy-haired, I guess.

Then there's the flipside

I sometimes get the opposite, a day where in reality I did very little, but on paper it was very productive. I get a build up of jobs that are 90% complete, waiting for someone else to do something. Then, after a day spent hounding people and playing politics instead of doing my real job, half a dozen things disappear off the todo list.
