I was in a quarterly prioritization meeting yesterday afternoon. Most of the execs are there and I'm up to give a status on a fairly high-visibility project I'm running. Things are not going well in great part because a seminal requirement was changed after a lot of design and development and the business has been reluctant to give enough latitude on the go-live date.
So I'm explaining this away and the room is silent. I am drinking from a huge bottle of water and spill it all over myself. Without any warning at all my boss grabs me, his boss helps, half the room grabs me and hangs me out to dry from an industrial clothes line. And heck it is cold outside, barely above freezing. Do you know how long it takes for wet clothes to dry? Until this early morning. I almost died. I told them that the clothes could dry without me but they said body heat would speed it up and laughed.
