    Morning all
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

    Comment


      Stone me, the allergies are bad today.

      Itchy eyes, runny nose, coughing incessantly.

      It's a human plot, I'm convinced.

        Is it just esteemed customers you are allergic to?

            Turns out they were omega 3. So I only suffered super fish oil injuries.

                4 days left at this ClientCo. Normally when I leave a client, I will tell those at the client who have been friendly that I'm going. Everyone else, well they should be told by the project managers, I don't want to be spreading worry etc among business people (or outsourced support people) that I won't be around.
                Many other things have been discussed with the business, but not that I'm done. Quite funny, yesterday there was a meeting about future projects, so I didn't have to go to it. Instead I got to sit in on the daily update call. I was the only member or the project team on the call.
                The business manager asked if the project team would be available after we moved on to other projects (within the ClientCo), I just said that he'd have to discuss with the PMO.
                Of course the outsourced support company don't have a clue (about me leaving or their lack of understanding of the system). It's all been documented and they've been taken through it. When they think there's a problem with the documentation or the design, they email the world and his wife. When they think it's something they have been told, but don't understand, they refuse to email, but phone direct instead. Will be a laugh next week when my ClientCo office number is switched off.

                  Smells very familiar

                  Generally I try and avoid these on the spot calls, I like everything to be documented, idiocy included
