I feel like I am getting the run-around. I wasted my Saturday drinking coffee (burned and cold) and eating donuts (stale and the "cake" type) hoping the darn meeting would start. Decided maybe I got the dates of the change wrong, so showed back up on Sunday and drank even worse coffee and ate far staler donuts only to notice that there was a Post-It on the conference room door saying "Gone Riding". I was suspicious of that note since so few SW folks actually "ride", so I stuck around for a while longer to make sure I at least could say "I tried". Clearly, nothing ever happens on Mondays, so when this past Tuesday rolled around, I was ready (again) with a short, but powerful, Powerpoint demonstration. No one showed up, but it did give a few hours to rework the Powerpoint slides, catch some typos, and add an exploding asterisk at a transition point. I'm definitely ready to go on Tuesday.

Tom If you work at a tech company, that sounds about right. 6 days of bullshit and 1 day of gut wrenching insanity to throw a bunch of crap together that is releasable in the last 4 hours. And by releasable, I mean good enough to appease the other assholes you report to who are afraid for their own jobs. No doubt riddled with defects -- but those can be mediated into features or put on the back log as 'nice to haves'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted July 23, 2018 Share #44 Posted July 23, 2018 ...I was thinking about this (well just daydreaming, really. Thom is over in his car thread lying his ass off again, about how Virginia is a sports car driver's paradise.) I have to wonder if maybe we might not have the votes to shit can in one fell swoop, but we might manage enough votes to impeach ? Then there could be a trial, where people could present testimony and his defense could respond in the spirit of due process. That would be fun. Due process is kind of a turn on.
