Why project managers are morons!

Every week at work, we always have a status meeting. During this past week's meeting, the manager asks if I'm going to have a plan to solve all my problems by the end of the month. The problem is that my issues are difficult to solve and requires much trial and error. There isn't a set of actions that I can take that will definitively solve my problems. The problems are solved in many small steps (if it's solvable at all). And as I get closer to the goal, it gets more and more difficult to make any progress since I will have exhausted all my ideas.

I can come up with a plan to solve my problems, but even if I follow it exactly, I still may not solve everything. I don't think my manager understands that. He thinks that if I come up with a plan and follow it, then everything will be peachy keen. My job isn't like building a house. I don't just follow a bunch of steps and everything is done!

Text Messages Galore!

I emailed sprint requesting a customer loyalty discount and free text messaging for being a long time customer. They indicated that they don't give out the customer loyalty discount anymore, but they would give me the free text messaging. As a result, I get 1000 free text messages a month now! If you've been a long time customer, you should email your provider asking for the same. It's always worth a try.

Feel free to text message me anytime! It's free (for me)!
