A lot of my job is dependent on interaction with other people. When people are gone, the number of things I can do diminishes quickly. I'm also a few months ahead of schedule on a project that is a year ahead of schedule on a larger effort that is way behind schedule.

I tend to mutlitask a lot. Start a build job. Check Pelican. Type an e-mail. Check Pelican. Check status of build job. Check Pelican. Work on specs for a new program. Check Pelican...

I'm also somewhat intentionally being kept less than completely busy by management. As they put it, they want me to "have the capacity to quickly respond to problems". In other words, since I'm nearing the end of my involvement on this project, they want me to stay around to fix things and not move on to something else.
