• 3 a.m., still not asleep
• awaiting the downloading dump, need some certainty
• is this the right ERM?

• database import complete:
• no foreign keys, no referential integrity
• and empty tables again

• 8 a.m., full code rewrite
• can't count all the times where my handcrafted SQL reads
• mapped to some incorrect fields

• my foe in this futile fight:
• statistical data that's full of redundancy
• on with the next entity

• PAOMI
• (I've been giving you)
• all of me
• (but I'm still not through)
• i can't resign
• you're always on my mind
• my desperation's
• caused by this migration

• 2 p.m., weekly review
• while updating spreadsheets with time estimations
• soon my mind is wandering off to

• problems and tasks yet to do:
• the features untested, bi-weekly migration
• and brand new requirements too

• PAOMI
• (I've been giving you)
• all of me
• (but I'm still not through)
• i can't resign
• you're always on my mind
• my desperation's
• caused by this migration

• oh, how I'm yearning
• (for this project's ending)
• I can't stand returning
• (to the problems pending)
• even though I'm working all day and night
• (day and night)
• it still seems as if there's no end in sight

• PAOMI

• PAOMI
• (I've been giving you)
• all of me
• (but I'm still not through)
• all deadlines passed
• I'm coding at my best
• how hard I'm trying
• but it's not compiling
