    Walkin', I'm walking... ahhh yes and no... hor is still the approved name.. so it doesn't look like thats going to change. For the sake of convenience I might get you to email that list of requirements again.. its buried in the inbox somewhere... I should actually be able to do something about it this week.

    Email re-sent.

    Still think they should go with a better name though.

    In most respects, I concur... but what do you do? I gave all the arguments, and what I thought might be better options... I believe some of the resistance is... pride? and looking like other institutions... jw: Jehovahs' Witness is the one that sticks in mind, but other examples were given to me as well.

    I s'pose on the flip side... the woman of negotiable affection is someone that needs "saving" so... there might be a weird logic going on there too.

    I missed the kick-off and the initial planning session, but I was able
    to get caught up reading the PowerPoints from the project site, and
    I'm aligned with the high-level vision. Will we be able to keep this
    under budget? As long as we're under the threshold we won't need to
    get approval from Accounting on this.

    We should have an action plan with a go-forwards requirements list by
    the end of the week. Let me know if you see any blockers before we
    need to make a go-no go decision.

    Its good you're aligned with the Vision. But if you're having to many visions we have drugs that can help with that. :P

    the end of the week. Let me know if you see any blockers before we
    need to make a go-no go decision.

    I can forsee all sorts of unforseen problems. Unforuntately I can't tell you what they are yet, I can't see them....

    Don't forget to put the . in the right place. If you mis the . all the
    cows explode and leave a huge job for the poor cleaners.

    They already have to contend with the sheep just standing there while
    they try and work around the problems.
