Work has been incredibly stressful. Recently they've started piling projects on me and demanding more and more as if I'm some genius robot that can churn out results without a break. I'm exhausted and have missed my deadline for finishing the app. So I just said F*ck it and took a week off in the middle of their demands.

I'm going to finish the last feature today, and then the main functionality is done. If there was no membership involved, it would be complete. My fulltime job has just reminded me how I need to get out.

The only thing that worries me is how bad my code is. I think it's very brittle and I'm not advanced enough to optimize it.
