    my head hurts..

    .. arrived at my desk at 10:40
    .. was out with the office manager and a colleague last night so anything other than "I slept straight through my alarm" wouldn't really pass

    Hopefully they only got to their desks at 10:39.... and will still sign the timesheet!

      I have a client who organised the daily scrums to be at 10:30 am. To fit in with the arrival time of the senior manager. Who often never attended anyway.

      Can you think of a dumber time to organise a meeting with developers!

      Think that deserves it's own thread...

        Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

        Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

          I worked at a bank that used to have meetings at 7:30, bastards. Another place used to have the daily scrum at 12:45 so we could all go to lunch together afterwards excpt for those poor bugger, like me, who also worked on other projects and so had to attend other meetings. This project as a bugger for meetings, looking in my diary for one day shows:

          8:30 - 10:30 weekly team meeting
          10:30 - 12:30 development meeting
          12:45 -13:00 daily scrum
          14:00 - 16:00 was 2 meetings in one, the first half was to discuss a meeting 2 days later, the second half was a status meeting
          16:00 - 20:00 various teleconferences

            So it does happen in the private sector too. That is such a relief!
