    Someone needs to save the people I'm working on this project with

    Because they are wandering in mortal danger.

    At this moment they are arguing over whether the titles on our slides should be in arial or calibri.

    Bangs head against desk.

    why me?

    I'm generally known as a patient man. But, I think I might have to lose it on that kind of BS. I've been in my own similar personal hell the past few months. I had to fire (ie, mutually agree that it wasn't a good fit) the person who reports to me and supervises a group of 60+ folks. As pennance, I have had to sit in on their weekly management team meeting of 7-8 managers. These people's ability to spend an hour and a half of my Friday haggling over minutae is mind boggling and has literally driven me to drink. I just keep telling myself four more weeks until the replacement starts...four more weeks...

    I fired my employees. And my boss. One kept wanting me to go to bed and the other kept keeping me out of it.

    If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.
