All hail the patron saint of chaos, for CJ is her devotee. Work stuff is now going SO badly in SUCH unpredictable ways that I am going down to San Diego to sit with the engineers in [companyname] personally. I leave Monday morning.
We do not yet have a whiteboard in our office with the heading BETTING POOL: Next Heartstopping Revelation from [Companyname] Will Be: but I can tell we're going to need one. And no, this is not anybody's fault, it's just... well, it's been in the cards since mid-December. I may not even be the only one who saw it coming. So anyway.
The San Diego guys on the conference call this morning said "Since CJ knows the code better than anyone else and we are the ones with [the coding environment] experience, CJ, you will be the project manager, and our guys will run around and do your bidding like brainwashed little minions." Okay, they didn't actually use the line about the minions. But I am now apparently project-managing a bunch of people I've never met. Wish me luck.
I'll be back in a week... less if it goes well, but after reading the first line you can imagine my level of optimism.
Wheeee.

maybe they'll like cheese fondue and wine, too, and understand about your feet and your need for normal amounts of sleep at regular intervals. just to be safe, better pack your clue-by-four. that should get through airport security, right?
