A PM on the necessity of cutting features vs. slipping schedules: "I have a hacksaw in my office for a reason."
(It's true -- he does have a hacksaw in his office. Weird.)
Hm, I seem to recall meeting you because your roommate at the time had a hacksaw. Isn't it odd how hacksaws seem to show up in random spots... er... bah, I don't know where I was going with that.
Anyway, those quotes remind me of some things I've heard around the office too. I think they're fairly standard developer fare.
Now, speaking of stressful things, I have to go have a meeting with all of the IT department's managers to report my progress on the BIG PROJECT. Yay!
and sometimes it is...
