[Pondlife]

is it just me who read the title and thought "that is not a nice thing to say just before you go home for the weekend" ?

You're getting confused with Mrs SY's posts on mumsnet.

Have you tried this self help video?

PS. What does this mean? Do you mean you need another 2 x as much resource?

Really?!

Really?!

Yes, really.

I would take "I am 300% resourced at the moment" to mean he has 200% more resource than he needs. But it cannot be what he means because he's complaining. So I asked what he means by it.

Well, stop buggering about with jargon you don't understand (it's Gantt, BTW) and say what you mean: you've got three things to do and only one pair of hands.
