So since Friday (the first day of holiday), I've had two applications packaged and deployed, spoke to a 3rd vendor, cut through the crap and tested an upgrade successfully and amended the requirement spec for this.

Had a nice chat with the DBA and got him to push forward with another piece of work. Created another 2 specs for designs, walked them round the sign off stakeholders and had them approved.

Basically cleared a months backlog that existed because the PM was too busy.

Another 2 days of productivity before it's back to normal, I might take a half day before I have to start banging my head of a brick wall again

Glad you've been paying attention.

You'd better have my desk nice and clean for when I get back on Friday.

LOL - I wouldn't take a PM role, don't think my straight talking style would go down too well.

You're almost as good as Suity and twice as good as MF!

You'll be after my job next!
