    I can't believe you wait till the end of a project for an orgasm.

        Agree. Given that most of you tulip on the client's code base, bogs are meant for orgasms.

            Assumptions - assumptions you've made in stating why things can happen (but probably aren't)
            Issues - risk that have now hit, poor/untested code, etc.
            Dependencies - things that you have no influence over.
            If nothing happens, go 9-5 and look for a perm job.
            Weekly RAID log issued to PM, along with executive summary email. He didn't read it. I know this as he would ask me questions I had already answered and I would tell him to read the email.
            Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

              Yes, I imagine you tend to have yours not long after starting.

                So why are you worried?

                You aren't responsible for managing the project, so I'm not sure why the "woe is me" thread.

                      I can imagine the level of your frustrations based on your posts, really sad.
