Do you enjoy the festive season?

Christmas ?

Original spec was based on a misunderstanding of the reality
Original Project manager seems to be a bit whacky, almost homicidal
his protege was a bit of a b*stard
Project team was a good size, 12 - 14, but still lacked cohesion, denying responsibility etc
Implementation - way to bureaucratic and costly
Data takeup ? a bit patchy

Implementation date - timing of this is awful
Summary - cost overruns, too many users upset, not enough buy-in. A big post implementation headache

Not to mention a fork in the source code that's caused so much grief.

I can understand more and more why some people go on holiday at Christmas

You should have kids - makes it a very very fun time.

And... its not actually his birthday either. Best scholarly estimates put that at somewhere around March (Jesus was a pisces - thats why Xtians use the fish logo).

I thought that was because of the brilliant bread and fish trick.

I thought it was because of the old 'fishers of men' quote

I can understand that, all that Sally said could be done at any time of year though.

Bah Humbug!

Its just about shopping and shopping and more shopping. You get one day off and then it back to shopping. And what do you end up with..a massive overdraft to pay off..and a house full of "I really will need that in the future", "Just in case","It was a 'bargain' I could not refuse","If I don't buy it I'll regret it because someone else will get it".....and "I dunno why I do it...I'll never do it again".

I feel like a single parent with a female OC shopping lodger at christmas time.

Lord Jesus, for Christmas please give this man the ability to speak the language of English.
