    Just had to give the pep talk of my life

    I thought about it over night, and remembered what it was like when I was developing and I was always the last to find stuff out, not feeling included in the decision making process etc etc.

    So I grabbed him first thing for a coffee, gave him the full story of the project so far, why the specs were light, the challenges that were being faced daily with the business and their requirements fluxing all over the place and what I had done and the lengths I had to go to just to get us where we are now.

    A brand new crazy Russian dude. Happy, cooperative and now owning his workload.

        The Russian fella? Yeah. He's now tickled Suity under the chin and Suity is purring in the corner.

                  I've just escalated on some guy, so pissed off went over his head, his bosses head and to his bosses bosses head. He's in for a ******* surprise when he comes in half and hour and has found I've had his entire priority of work changed. Shouldn't have ****ed me about for a week in the first place.

                    I'm too ******* good at this. I played the escalation card but played in a totally inclusive & positive manner (as opposed to really ******* someone over). The guy has stepped up to be our 'saviour'.

                    A waroom has been opened and they're presently back in the US working through the deployment.

                    I am Suity.

                      You aint got the minrals saaaan.

                      Rescue a pensioner from a smouldering wreck, give the yer missus a good seeing to - a proper one not your usual 3 pumps, do a 54 mile charity cycle ride then see if you measure up before you go taking my name in vain.
