27.Octpenultimate peril
Yesterday was another typical day at the office which is looking more and more like the TV show or maybe even Dilbert’s life.
10am - meeting with the top bossing about a valued contractor who resigned. Trying to make him commit to offer full time employment or else suffer the consequences (mine mostly).
11am - after 10am we went straight to some stakeholder’s meeting which ran until nearly 1pm! By which time we were forced to meet again at 3pm to prioritise the next project’s features.
3pm - ate my lunch on the train back to the office to reach the 3pm meeting where we stayed for 30minutes arguing why we should postpone the meeting until the “owners” are better prepared. We adjourned to convene the following day.
Good use of 30minutes and we got free fruits for our efforts. Today we face a harrowing 3 hours going thru 250 features we need to prioritise for our next penance.
