No inherited a dying project and the programme manager keeps acting like a headless chicken, doesn't help he has no clue about project management or programme management and keeps butting in and contradicting what I'm trying to do.

Don't really fancy having to get up at 4am just to make it into the office on time and then spend 5 hours trying to get home.

Anyone who isn't at work is a slacker.

I live in London and the tube strike never stopped me getting to my desk bright and early.
