I bet it is. :)

Some days I find my current job stressful enough to jump out a window, and other days it just slides along contentedly. It's weird.

Resist the temptation

Hi.

I'm a Western Canadian bisexual breeder fruit fly!

Will you be my friend? ;-)

Temptation resisted, despite multiple members of the Empire in my inner circle.

I am happy to befriend almost ALL fruit flies. :)

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!
