So, last night right before I fell asleep (at about 1030pm) thoughts of the day flashed through my mind. Using this is not necessarily a bad thing, but for the last month I'd say things at the office have been a little rough. There was a project that started, that me and my team got thrown into at the last moment; we had hoped that we would not have to be involved. The issue with this project is that we have to make time to do the work outside of our normal daily duties; seems somewhat okay thus far you might be thinking. But, WAIT there is a little twist, we are not making the schedule and we are at the mercy of the folks that are, worst yet they do not seem to want to look at the entire picture and see how things will effect everyone involved just that they look good to the big bosses. The main issue I am having with this is that me and my guys are the ones that get the short end of the stick and are the first to be looked at when something does not go according to the schedule.

Ah, the schedule another thing that seems to be the ban of my existence with this project. Please, I ask you think about why people come up with a schedule for project or anything else for that matter. Do you have that idea in your head?? Now, throw that idea away and consider this for a moment. The people that are heading this project change the schedule almost on a daily basis. Oh, did I forget to mention the best the part? They don't tell all the parties involved. Isn't that just great! I have to tell you, I love the lack there of communication. I was not aware that a project could be worked without communication, but here I was wrong apparently you can but its not going to be a very successful project.

Bare with me a little longer, the complaining should come to an end soon, I just would really like to get this off my chest. I take you now to the man that has claimed that he is the god-be-all when it comes to the schedule and when people are going to be doing what when. This guy has decided that this week was the perfect time to take a vacation and will not be back til the beginning of the week. Now, I would not begrudge someone time off, I know that everyone needs time away from the office to unwind. But here in lies the problem, the guy that is filling in for him knows just about enough to be dangerous; some about a drinking cup size filled half way up if you need a bit a visual aid to see how much information this guy has. I mention this because the floor supervisor for the team is getting different information then is being giving to me, and he told me yesterday that something was going to happen that is not scheduled until the begging of Sept. Great news don't you think? Now, I have to wait till Monday (when things are spouse to be happening) to talk to the master of the schedule to see what the heck is going on. This has turned out to be a fun ordeal.

Well, while I was taking a few moments to write this out I was visited by the floor supervisor and we talked about the status of his work and when I would be able to get in and finish up my part. Looks like today they will be done; at this point I don't think that is going to happen; lets just say that I will believe when I see it. Oh, and found out the schedule god knew about the jumping ahead in the schedule and just did not tell me about it; again love the amount of communication that is going on here.

All right, I think that is enough complaining for one time; but then again it felt nice to get that off my chest.
