... After a >40 mile commute, churning out code non-stop and still working away.

Anyone else still in work, seeing blurry and struggling to operate a mouse tonight? sleep

Nope, but I finished work 40 minutes ago and am back there at 6am. I hate retail.

Not me - worked from home today and under was under a 3 line whip to log off at 15:00. As it was Virgin Media made life easy for me by dropping my Broadband connection at 15:30.

Happy days, I switched off the Crackberry and went to the pub with the better half drink then came back and sped around with my G25 and GTR Evolution driving

Not helping am I?!?!

tongue out

No, they just decide that they wanted something different after you've written it!

(On the other hand we have to go through a 2 week sign-off process to correct a typo on the FDS.)

Money earned as long as it's not all work. At 18 some partying needs to be had aswell.

So, its not that in most cases peeps are chosen to determine estimates who are not equipped with the skills to make them realistic? Another good one; they know they are stupidly unrealistic but its for a bid so they'll lie and let others worry about how it will be completed, maybe everyone will be lucky and milk more out for completion.... tongue out

Earlier today:
B "Any chance you can work some OT on these critical issues"
P "Will you be paying for it?"
B "You know we cant authorise that"
P "Ill see you next week then...bye bye now"
