Well, yesterday, my “Boxing Day” off, consisted of about half a day’s worth of phonecons and heads-down spreadsheet and project plan crunching for a proposal that a functional group presented to us a week ago and said, “Oh, by the way, we’ve negotiated all of this with the vendor, and we need your nod to approve everything that’s there” — which didn’t include any IT-related costs (let alone schedule considerations) such as servers, contractors, etc.<\/p>\n
Today, so far, it’s been heads-down in the office over the same stuff, though my boss did congratulate me on the costing and planning done to date — “We’ve done far worse with far more time to do it in.”<\/p>\n
