It's something I'd like to do eventually. I have two things I'd have to work on first. I'm not good at dealing with people who aren't self-motivated, and I need to be a little more patient when things don't "click" when I'm explaining things to people.

The project I'm on has dozens of very talented people on it. I'm not at the top of that list. The problem is that there are also close to a thousand people on the project. It's a HUGE undertaking. Problems tend to ripple. A small problem in one area often causes a huge problem in another area. I've been fortunate in that I work on some isolated stuff. It's also been pretty low profile because we're not the squeaky wheel.

I'm mostly just pissed about the Saturday thing and venting about that. I don't mind having to work extra to make a deadline. I do hate having to come in on my own time not to work.
