Looks like there were a few visitors - two virtual and one physical. The one dropped in from Doha after a convention in Orlando. The half man graciously yielded his room for 5 days to the uncle who spent days looking at houses with the Man and other days with a friend in a rented sports convertible to behold.
Work is killing me. Slowly. I feel out of my depth. Drowning in topologies and extensibility and application pools that test my understanding and challenges my limited exposure to the stuff I am supposed to help architect. There are those who understand the dilemma and try to overcome the limitations and others who I can feel are starting to write off any value from this rather hapless architect. It was not of my choice and not of my doing but I think they underestimate what I can eventually deliver and know not my resilence in days past. To them was allowed stability through the upheavals. To me, this is the fifth change in as many years. While they were learning and absorbing and finally able, to me was change on change of focus and disciplines. Subject matter expertise needs time and nurture. But my leaders must have known me as a change agent. So that's what I must deliver. I must not descend to the level of technicians. They would not like that.
But I do need to step up fast.
