Mini rant #1

This is how I'm feeling today (in response to an innocent mail query of "how's things?")
Today? Crappy! But it's only issues with work that are pissing me off. I really cannot be arsed with this crap any more. I come off as the bad guy becasue I can't magically deliver in a timeframe that's been laid out by the casting of runes and then they ask me for some revised estimates. I point out that they will come when the DS is complete so they ask why it isn't complete yet. I point out that the estimate for the DS was a month so it'll be ready in 2 weeks. They say that makes them 2 weeks behind. I say not in my book because I'm not the one that thought he could conjure system interfaces to 3 new suppliers by farting magic pixie dust over the servers.
Oh, and I like the idea of a mini rant, hence it's #1 - it gives me the option for more.

Urbane Spaceman, what happened to your blog? Where have you gone?!

I'm around, it's just that my enthusiasm for maintaining blogs tends to wax and wane based on some mystical druidical formula. It's probably to do with how much work I have on, how many people are reading it and how much self-worth I have at any given moment.

Plus, I keep thinking the time would be better spent working on my actual writing projects - I should probably get going on those ;)
