Ever had management come in and want to change everything about the way you do things... so it will take you twice as long to do the same things you are doing now, but you will end up with a result that is only half as good?

Yes, indeed. Take care to manage the situation as best you can. The stress that it can produce is horribly corrosive to you health and happiness. (voice of experience here) My manager is in the process of firing another one of us - always a morale booster. I'll be happy to commiserate via fr-mail if ya like.

It already is, for the short term anyway. I have this huge task in front of me that will only result in turning my good product into a format that is compatible with their crappy product, and I will probably remain despondent through the whole process! I don't know whether to get started or get drunk :~)

Sorry about the firing at your place, I guess it could always be worse.

The stuff I have to do is such specific and technical database stuff that I don't even think I can commiserate about it. But thanks!
