Working on Easter Weekend

It's 9 AM on Easter Sunday, and I'm alone in the office.  I also came in yesterday from 7AM until 12.  Then I worked from home from 7:30 until 9.  Why???  Because we received a customer request to make Thai fonts.  Long story short, I'm trying to get the fonts out to them before Monday (Thai time).  It's a frustrating task because
1. I don't know Thai.
2. This was a sudden request and there was not enough time for me to learn how to make fonts and create a font for a language I don't know!!!!
3. There are not enough test files for me to test and release the fonts with confidence.
4. This is not coding.  I want to become a better software engineer... not a person who can make artistic interpretations on fonts while converting them from true type to bitmap.

This is frustrating, and I'd rather be spending my easter weekend with my family.  I mourn the loss of the weekend.  But I relish the opportunity to show my "go get 'em" attitude.  Hopefully it'll core me some points when review time comes. 


Praise to God that my daughter has been a real sweetie this weekend.  So even though I ended up working and doing chores all of yesterday... her sweetness really gave me a few highlights that made the day bearable.

And props to my husband for watching our daughter while I'm working this weekend. And also, I feel so loved that he even read me a bedtime story so I could calm down from the stressful day and fall asleep.
