    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.
      When money ceases to be the tool by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of men. Blood, whips and guns--or dollars. Take your choice - Ayn Rand, Atlas.

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

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

              Bah Humbug!
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                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.
