Morning all
It was clear skies earlier when out on our walk, but it's clouded over now. That hasn't made the humidity drop, though. 18C out…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

I'm hoping I didn't scare off the new BA who joined today and is taking on one of my projects
Maybe I should have done a better job of turd polishing to at least give them a small sense of hope.
(S)he will be all excited like a new puppy so wouldn't notice the polishing. Just be honest and hand over some decent documentation and they will realise you wanted to help!Comment

hopefully soon he will be found out. We have just worked our way through 2 PMs that would make Matt Hancock look competent.Originally posted by WTFH View PostThe useless PM (UK based contractor) organised a call this evening to see how go live was going (the first call he’s had since before go live)
He didn’t show up on it. He starts work at noon, UK time “because he’s busy with the US team”, then doesn’t show up at an 8.30pm call because he finishes at 7.30pm.
He puts in 10 hours on his timesheet per day, claims to be in meetings, but not with anyone that works for the company.Comment

Bonjour mes amis.
Fell asleep on the beach, only to wake up amidst a lot of French titties. Could have been worse...I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment
