Yup. Sad, sad, world. This is why I wanted to join Google...with the hopes of leaving behind this unbelievable BS that I'm knee-deep in all day...every day.

It's also hard to keep my own team motivated because of the culture around them. No wonder they think I'm such a lunatic...


In today's daily huddle, we had a question from one of the track leads on where a certain design deliverable was. We have THREE PMs on this project. THREE. All we had was total silence. If anyone had information on a deliverable, it should be a Project Manager.

Instead, we had crickets. WTFBBQ. Hate them all.

I have acted as PM before (on projects obviously much less in budget and were around $1M only)...but, being honest, and having a true process is absolutely appreciated. Moral is high and the collective attitude of the project team is extremely positive.

But, no...apparently, this is too much common sense. We can't have that. Not on ERP projects. Nope.

My splash is too big brah. My goals are not increasing debt (have enough saved for that, hopefully), remain married and finish before 30 which shouldn't be a problem.

What are you studying? You better remain married.. My suggestion after staring at hot 20 somethings all day.. take cold afternoon showers.. and beat it.

Assuming wifey doesn't want to be humped by you 3 times a day.

I was going after a criminal justice/business degree, but now that I've been in an accounting position for 5 years I'm going to go with that and not do anymore CJ classes. I'll have to wait until I talk with a counselor in a few weeks to see what I need to do but I think that's the best and easiest thing for me to just get it finished. Seeing my transcripts from my final year in 2007 was a mixture of 10 withdrawals and zeros

I was doing CJ with hopes of being a lawyer some day but that isnt what i want anymore. I make enough to pay my bills and save so I'm content with being in acct. for now, but the degree will give me about 20k more a year. My boss told me a few months ago that he is planning to retire in 3 years and that if I'm still here that I would be his recommendation as a replacement. He makes a little over 100k but position starts at 87k. That's no guarantee of course but it won't hurt to finish that way if I don't get it I can leave with the degree and experience. That's another reason why I commute instead of getting another job.
