No news is good news.

Like that would happen...

It's one thing to have a tough project with a really aggressive time scale...but it always makes things so much easier when you have someone reminding you of that fact everyday. Especially when you can't start on your part until some previous phase is completed by someone else. All you can do is sit there and stare at them like a rabbit in the headlights, hoping they will go away and not remind you again tomorrow.

I expect to hear a lot of the following:
"Can't you start without any assets?"
"How hard could it be?"
"What do you mean that isn't in the original scope of the project?"
"What do you mean there is no ice? I have to drink this coffee hot?"

Oh poor me. Boo hoo hoo.

Shut up...

Tomorrow at work we get to go out to lunch. Even though we know that the cost of the lunch is pretty insignificant compared to one persons pay check, it doesn't help that four people got laid off last week. Sure not going out to lunch won't bring them back, but for me it's just a matter of at least letting the body cool a bit.

I'm way too bitter, cynical, and jaded right now to do much good for anyone. All the more reason to take a day off... I'm afraid one more thing will push me over the edge and I will snap and throw a monkey at someone...or worse...a nerf dart.

"Everyone has to just do their best." You can only hear it so many times before it becomes meaningless. Of course we've all been doing our best. Did it look like I was sitting around with my finger in my ear? Might as well start throwing baseball cliches at us...take it one game at a time, I'm just trying to help the team, and the winner: I'm just happy to be here.
