I really, really hate it when I have a meeting scheduled for a project and have two weeks before that meeting (so I have everything planned out about when certain aspects of said project will be done) and other members of said project are called out of town to a meeting so the f*ing project meeting is moved up a week and a half.

So, instead of two full weeks from today to get my portions done, I have until Wednesday of next week.  [sighs] 

It's going to be a long fucking night and weekend reading through 50 to 100 ten-page prospectuses in order to rank the damn things.

    no, they couldn't push it back because of the overall timeline, which involves rounds of interviewing candidates who submitted the prospectuses in the first place. 

    and yes, it sucks that the deadline got pushed up.

    I'm sending you a case of Exedrin and a 10-pound bag of coffe beans.

    I'm sorry, Z.  That sucks big time.

    Indeed, this doth suck like a whortled wimbuzzler who's eaten of the mandrake root.

    Might make more sense to get more people to read the prospectuses. Of course that would be too easy.
     
    I empathize with you Z. I'm co-ordinating a major project at work ...one that has the commitment of the head honchos behind it. I developed an action plan with all the actions we need to do, delegated who's to be responsible for each action...got the head honchos' agreement of same...and it's taken me over a month trying to get the people delegated as responsible to just complete the action plan... fill in the amount of time it will take to complete each action with a start and end date! And yet some how they think we can complete all the actions in a month...so we've got a few months to implement them. *rolls eyes... optimistically*

    Very sorry to hear that, but by the title I was expecting something along the lines of

    "I saw the best minds of my corporation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical h/r,
    dragging themselves through the antiseptic halls at dawn looking for an toner fix,
    muddleheaded managers burning for the ancient moneyed connection to the star studded dynamo in the TV of night...."

    You know.  Growl.
  • silverwhisper said on Feb 24, 2007....
    omg...kelly, you're truly a treasure! and mad props on your ginsburg-fu!

    super z, my sympathies. that's gotta be mind-numbingly painful.

    I was going to send you Exedrin too but I found the package said Exlax. I guess you won't be needing that, huh?

    Good luck, Zayda. And stay off SoulCast until you've finished your homework!

  • momsrock said on Feb 24, 2007....

    Sorry Zayda! I think the only silver lining in this situation would be the satisfaction you will feel when you pull it off and meet the deadline anyway.

    ((((Zayda))))

    You will shine at the meeting.  I hate that it has to cause you stress and ruin your weekend.  I think a nice bubble bath is in order after the meeting so you can relax.
