this is about the work you were doing in Aransas Pass, but could also apply to your work while you're TAing.
The idea is: it is hopeless, because grabbing 2-4 hours a day just isn't enough to make progress. Even perfect hours, that's not enough to really drive progress. And if they're compromised hours; well -- no chance.
BUT, it's also worth noting, or has to be noted, that it is so much better than not doing that; you keep connected and so much more tapped into the work. You don't lose it, and you 'don't backslide (as much).
it is hopeless, it is useful.
