If I had a brain zappy-thingy, I'd use it on the knuckleheads I was just in a meeting with. Adding me to the invite was a last minute afterthought on their part. They're supposed to be working on their portion of the BIGPROJECT I'm managing. Only they're not. I've just discovered they're working on their own stuff (which is "more fun") but using data from the BIGPROJECT and all the visibility, credibility, and gravitas of BIGPROJECT to advance their own playtime thing.

One key to good project management is consistent management of message, marketing the product, keeping everyone focused on a couple specific goals. These guys don't *get* it. Now they're completely annoyed with me because I'm pulling their plug because their work conflicts with the objectives of BIGPROJECT and the users of the data are getting all sorts of confused messages now. Thanks for making my day... knuckleheads.

There's only so much damage control I can do today. Dang it. Someday I'll learn not to fret all weekend about this kind of knuckleheadedness.

Someday I'll learn not to fret all weekend about this kind of knuckleheadedness.

There are ways to get through the weekend.

I'm just sayin' is all...
