Man this dual role thing is a pain.

At work I've taken over the responsibility for documenting and enforcing the methodologies that I've been espousing at work for the past year. If that was all I was doing, I'd be fine. But I've also had to take over Project Management for most of the projects in house. I've laid the groundwork for hoisting my own backend. You see, part of my methodology is to take the project management out of the hands of the sales people. Most of them are not equipped to do the daily PM work, so it needed to move from them to actual PMs. Myself and this other person were lined up to take over that work load.

But I wasn't supposed to do the Project Management stuff full time. It's an area that I've found I have some skills in, but the Admin stuff was supposed to be the biggest portion of my role at work for the next few months.

But our other PM quit, with little notice, and the owner instituted a hiring freeze. Now I'm responsibile for both, and it's running me ragged. Late August is the target date for our current goal set, and at that point we should be able to bring in another PM, and a second Developer with Solaris/Java/JSP experience.

'Til then, I'm bound to early mornings in addition to the commonly late nights.
