the_eggwhite... and call it PooMAiaM Productions. Standing for "Pulled Out Of My Arse In A Month"
Some history:
One of the projects that I've been working on for several months made, at the outset, a decision that I disagreed with. They decided they wanted a design for a web page that I thought was a bad move, and gave them a long list of reasons why. They decided those reasons were not important. I got an agreement that if they later changed their minds, I would not be expected to rebuild the site from scratch in less than half of the time than it had taken so far (ie: been working for six months to get this far, I need at least three months to re-do it properly).
They just decided to agree with me. After six months work on the site, I have been given four weeks to replace it. Not only this, it's not even my top priority site for at least a fortnight. In fact, I'm unlikely to even be able to look at it again for at least a week.
Even more annoying, my manager agreed to this.
This is an impossible deadline unless I ditch something else, which I won't be allowed to do. Oh well. She'll just have to take the flak when I miss deadlines...

2002-11-22 04:05 (UTC)The annoying project in question - it's actually a very cool project. I like the idea behind it, and the people I'm working with are not actually nasty - in fact she fits firmly in the nice-but-dim category. She can't help being clueless... she's an academic - it's in the job description...
My manager, however...
