Pulling All-Nighters for Clients

There is something special about going that extra 100 miles for a client. While you are doing it, you are indeed only human, so you sometimes fall prey to the variety of feeling ranging from annoyance to down-right anger. But honestly, every time I have pulled the all-nighter at some point I start to get really proud. Really intense about what we are doing. And want the project we are working on to be even better than I first imagined.

That happened this past week to several of us here at Optiem. Our staff rose to a huge challenge and so far, has really done a fantastic job. And in the process done some really great work.

Its much like weight loss or saving money or training to run a marathon. Those first few days are horrible. You question every little effort. But as soon as you start seeing progress. As soon as you start to realize what you sought to achieve, your outlook changes. All of a sudden you are doing more exercise, saving that extra quarter at the store and putting it in your savings account, or pushing yourself that extra mile. (Not that I know about marathon running...its only what I read somewhere).

Anyway, I love human nature. It certainly keeps it interesting around here.
