I took on this one project under the premise that it was a two page 'report' with a long lead time - I just found out it's a full-blown MF'ing Phase I with all the trappings and horrors that go along with such a report.

GAH. This is my ANGRY face! :mad:

Oh - and the report's now probably going to run 50+ pages. :mad:

(the crappy part is that I really shouldn't back out now - I'm still too new to get a reputation of backing out of projects... boo.)

This is on top of three other huge Phase Is. Seriously - can I get a break?!

Who mislead you? They sound like they could use a good reaming.

Em - this SO does call for another happy hour. And you can come meet El Herbie post-intoxication.

WIP - it's the project manager and I can't very well rip this guy to shreds b/c it'll be A) unprofessional, B) lose me the project, and C) get me blacklisted in one entire region of work. :frustrate Believe me, I'm being vocal about getting screwed over - just not to him. I've given my two immediate supervisors a 'don't give me any more Phase Is just yet' head's up and I'm attempting to just keep calm.

X - I am so not impressed. :razz:

I dealt with a spat like this at work a few months ago. I do NOT handle stress well. I'm currently making my way through a book called Everyday Zen. Seriously. If it ends up being any good I'll lend it to ya.
