It’s the morning of my punch walk. Three years of work (for me, four for the other team members) crossing the biggest milestone before students start learning stuff in August.
I woke up early, much too early for someone about to walk the building all day.
I feel a mix of trepidation and expectation, when I last visited the site a couple weeks ago, there was a lot of work to be done.
But here we are.
Like all milestones, they seem bigger in the future and diminish rapidly after being crossed.
Tomorrow will be another day of punching.
Monday will be the fallout. Wrap up some paperwork, wrestle with some loose items.
A project never ends with a bang, they generally tail off with a whimper.
By then, we’re long gone, chasing the next milestone on the next project.
