It’s 7:55am. I spent the whole night writing a 16-pages integration document as part of the upcoming major implementation at work (only 1 of the billion interfaces I have to write). The further I wrote the document, the more I realize that the 2 systems involved are not really as compatible as my boss initially thinks. There are major architectural and technological differences which we never anticipate.

So what’s the lesson learned? Don’t leave things to the last minute — If I come across that earlier, I could have raised the issue and discuss it with my boss before hitting the deadline and stumble on this critical issue at the same time.

Well, having said that, I think it is only possible if you are not already working 14 hours/day.

UPDATE:
My boss actually did not say much about it. Maybe he is expecting the incompatibility all along? Who knows…. (or maybe he hasn’t read it yet?)
