I found out yesterday 8 months worth of project was a waste of time, but still looks good on the CV so that's something

Sounds like a lot of my very profitable "failures"

The thing I worked on for five months at Yahoo! got thrown away. They'd already spent around six months on it before I started there. It was up and running in semi-public beta, but they had one of their periodic episodes where a new CEO (Jerry Yang, one of the founders, in this case) panics and starts cutting stuff, and it fell by the wayside

Given the size of the team, that was easily a few million dollars that might as well have been chucked in the gutter

And then there was the eight months at Cambridge Assessment (aka The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate, aka UCLES). That was all for naught too

Too much exercise?

I skipped yesterday.

Though on Tuesday I pushed myself until I nearly vomited then I remembered I was in a spin class. If I had been running outside on my own I would have vomited...

Anyway I need to go to the supermarket.

Make sure to stock up on Old Peculier, in case you need something to revive you

I've witnessed a couple of hundred million+ wasted over the last few years.
Something I made very clear would never work in the first instance.

Major reason, It would never satisfy one of the top 3 business requirements would be one.

Funny, currently pricing up plenty more work on the "dead" technology, that the business have always liked, after all that wasted money

As today is Groundhog Day, I shall this evening watch the eponymous film

And, unlike last year, I'll watch the Blu-ray I bought ages ago and forgot I had, meaning I watched the DVD that time instead

Just went out the back to put the recycling bin somewhere they'll collect it from to empty it. It's mega windy out there
