    8 weeks to go, all specs written, all sprints planned, everything written up. My days are spent telling stakeholders to bog off (requirements freeze was months ago), wiping developers noses and reporting on progress.

    Everything is ticking along nicely. I planned it this way. Now I'm bored. Is is possible to plan too well, and plan yourself out of a gig?

    In reality this is probably the holy grail of contracting. Turn up, work thy nuts off for a few months bailing the project out of the tulipe, then sit back and watch for the remaining time as all your ducks are neatly stacked in rows.

    Anyone else have this?
    And so the pattern begins again.

    3 weeks.

      Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

        How's the cycling going? With all this spare time I expect you are ready for a massive fund-raising event sometime soon?

        Or what about ramping up your plan B? Those viruses don't remove themselves you know

                  What, like a mobile knocking shop? That's genius that is. If only I was a dirty old slapper with a camper van that would be my plan B.
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                    He gave up without trying.

                    At least MF follows his projects through to abject failure.

                      You'd struggle with profitability though
