    This comes courtesy of a work pal: The five stages of an IT project 1. Enthusiasm for the goals. 2. Disillusionment with the progress. 3. Search for the guilty 4. Persecution of the innocent 5. Praise for the non-participants. :laugh: Matt ------ Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days the statue.

      Hah hah, Yep, I've been there. It's even funnier that people who haven't had even a sniff of the project get some praise.

            1. begin design 2) abort design, code like mad (management priority change) 3) confront design (lack of) issues with elegant hack 4) while waiting for management approval of design, code minesweeper clone 5) arbitrarily roll to production without testing 6) code like mad to fix testing (lack of) issues (that would not have been a problem were a design properly done) 7) take comp day, drink beer, code at home for the fun of it -John
