    Bob has failed to deploy the system for over a week and I've been failing the UAT/Test phase for 7 days

    System deployed. 20 minutes inside of deadline.

    Deployment failed again this
    morning and by 11 o clock Bobs disapearing or sending emails to other bobs in same building. Eventually phoned a Bob and made him round up all individuals and put in a 'warroom'. Escalation made to senior director who then chaired call with me. Priority changed to drop all other work to fix it. Done and dusted.

    Had already had a further extension until end of year and was followed up with 'MF - you're going to be here all next year as well.'

    Now going to get kids tomorow and head off to caravan.

    Balls of steel me. Balls of steel.

    Oh shag. Looks like I've got rid of the kids to the grandparents for the weekend but the missus is also staying and we'll go down on Tuesday.

    Zippy - cancel the house call I've no longer got $5 looks like I may have to make love to Mrs MF. Eek can you send me the brown paper bag you use for Mrs Eek, I'm going to have to draw a picture of Amy Winehouse on it.

    lets hope she has the big assets?

    Bob sent me the list of users on our new OBIEE tool. Our most junior user can report on all of Europe, they don't seem to see a problem with staff paid sub £15k having access to Europe's customer list.

    I keep getting profile fails for valid data but their profiling sql is wrong, using the wrong code for date detection - nice.

    MF I feel for you! Grease the balls, shrug the shoulders!

    And she's not a midget with big bazoomas either.

    It's not the yank in him you need to worry about today. Its the superhero complex he has worked himself into based on being the least clueless of the monkeys in the typing pool.

    In the kingdom of the blind the one-eyed man is king. In this case the person stuck on page 5 of project management for dummies is ahead of the bob still on page 2.
