Today is the first time I am cancelling a practise session by choice. And I am not happy about it.
Currently the company I work for has a planned shutdown, during which upgrades and maintenance activities can be done. It's like watching a swarm of locusts descend on a corn field, with the corn field being our plant, and the locusts being workpeople and employees.
It is a very busy time, and everyone is swamped with work. It is controlled chaos, with a pinch of mayhem.
As a systems admin for the process control network, this is the time when we upgrade our process control software and databases. This is a time consuming activity, spanning multiple days, with lots of stress.
This week has been tiresome already, and tomorrow will probably be a 12 hour day, and I have to work through the weekend as well, though hopefully not on sunday.
If I go to class I am not in bed before 11 PM, so I decided to choose for a long night's sleep instead of practise. I feel guilty for doing it, because I am of the opinion that it is no more than expected to show up for every practise.
It's the sensible thing to do, and 1 missed practise does not matter in the long run.
Still feels sucky though.
