3 a.m., still not asleep
awaiting the downloading dump, need some certainty
is this the right ERM?

database import complete:
no foreign keys, no referential integrity
and empty tables again


8 a.m., full code rewrite
can't count all the times where my handcrafted SQL reads
mapped to some incorrect fields

my foe in this futile fight:
statistical data that's full of redundancy
on with the next entity 


PAOMI
(I've been giving you)
all of me
(but I'm still not through)
i can't resign
you're always on my mind
my desperation's
caused by this migration


2 p.m., weekly review
while updating spreadsheets with time estimations
soon my mind is wandering off to

problems and tasks yet to do:
the features untested, bi-weekly migration
and brand new requirements too


PAOMI
(I've been giving you)
all of me
(but I'm still not through)
i can't resign
you're always on my mind
my desperation's
caused by this migration


oh, how I'm yearning
(for this project's ending) 

I can't stand returning
(to the problems pending)

even though I'm working all day and night
(day and night)
it still seems as if there's no end in sight


PAOMI
(I've been giving you)
all of me
(but I'm still not through)
i can't resign
you're always on my mind
my desperation's
caused by this migration


PAOMI 
(I've been giving you)
all of me
(but I'm still not through)
all deadlines passed
I'm coding at my best
how hard I'm trying
but it's not compiling
