normally, you know the crunch is coming. the day-to-day stuff get busier and busier until without realizing it, you are working 16 hour days and the last day off is further away than you next day off. quite different is going from being mid-cycle to being in the last bit of alpha. quite interesting is not only changing gears and switching modes, but changing trannys and switching titles, if only for a short time. funny thing is i like the process of finaling a product, although this time, i do miss being at home spending time with melissa.
