Change of Metaphor

So remember my post about a light at the end of the tunnel? Well, I used the wrong metaphor.

What I should have said was this:

Imagine trying to tread water in the middle of the ocean. You find yourself bobbing up and down, sometimes buried in the water for a little bit, but every once in a while (hopefully), you get your head above water and take a breath before you go back under for a little while.

I have this project at work I've been working on for a very long time. Yeah, it's like that.

That's what I should have said.
