I have a feeling I'm going to get very good at conference calls in the coming months....

This is a conference call.

Who is wearing a tie?

and only a tie?

Yea, I always said I never wanted a career, just a steady paycheck. ;)

They're a blast Sid. Remember, "mute" is your friend.

Case in point - Someone's dog just started howling in the background...LMAO!!!

I dont want to know where that tie is tied.

Around the mute buttton.....

No, we're not going to do another demo of a software package. Yes, we need a definitive date on the integration testing. No, there is no slack in the project schedule. Yes, you need to make a decision on a direction by Friday.

And yes, we discussed licensing capacity 2 months ago. Do you want me to dig out the emails and resend them to you again? I still have them archived...

Tie me up with you tie, Ty.

How does one respond to statments like that?

Usually with an "OK. We'll go do our job now and stop looking for reasons to delay and blame you, the vendor for our inability and failures to make decisions."

Box them into a corner.

I thought you would like to know that this was a bloody good red wine.

Wheres mine?

Right here!

Yeah, I learned a lot of life lessons with this whole thing..... :(

Wellx I've kept busy today...ton of little stuff for the other job...cleaned the tortoise terrarium...did laundry...did some cooking....another couple of things and its off to the cigar bar

We get that all the time. A client will wait until the last minute to give us a GO and then jump up and down expecting us to fly it and map it instantly. If there is bad weather they are outta luck.

I always want to tell them "your total lack of planning does not not constitute an emergency on our part"

Took my management test... He told us to bring a pencil, a scantron, and a calculator...

Then on the second to the last page, draw a GANTT chart, it ends up being and 8x28 grid. A freaking ruler would have been nice. Hope he doesn't grade on pretty... :mad:
