    Balls of Steel and shoulders of Hercules!

    Just back from gig. Been in since 7am. Bob has failed to deploy the system for over a week and I've been failing the UAT/Test phase for 7 days.

    On holiday from Monday. Client now begging me to defer as the recipient is kicking up a fuss. Two days to go and the new deployment still doesn't work. That's fine. Going to cost you for the w/e/Monday.

    Failure to complete is a £20k fine. Client paying extra to stay around.

    Quick word with Mrs MF. 'Sorry love going to move the holiday by a few days I'm needed to sort some tulip out' 'Oh!!!!' 'Shut it. I'm the daddy round here. Go to your mums'

    Poured a glass of wine, now going to knock out some mosiac pictures.

    Balls of steel me. Balls of steel.

    Jackanory!!! You are just trying to duck out of another stay in the In-Laws caravan, ain't ya?
    All this rubbish about deadlines.............bloody smokescreen if you ask me.

      Not really she is only going to insist on a bigger pressie before putting out next.

      Considering that you knew this was going to go pear shaped a month ago you could have given her a bit more warning.
