Rewards and Experience
I’ve spent the last two weeks at work absolutely busting my rear to get an application moved into production. I was hardly unique in this regard as there were five of us on the team, and all of us were tying up loose ends and fixing stuff that our wrapping up had managed to break. I stayed late at work on Thursday and Friday, and I was extremely drained by the time Friday night rolled around to start my weekend.
And now it’s Monday. For the past six months or so, Monday morning has meant the biweekly project status meeting. In the wake of (hopefully) successfully moving our app to production, I feel like it’s time for a party or something. In fact, I feel like it’s time for the project manager to dole out the experience points and treasure for our adventure while we all sit around eating nachos and drinking soda.
If I’m ever the lead on a project, I’m going to insist on being called the Dungeon Master, and our project wrap up meeting will involve me rolling random treasure from the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
“Michael, I was really impressed with how you handled that data backload. I’m giving you a Gem of True Seeing.”
