    On a Calendrical theme

    Calendar Reform in England, 1752

    So, prior to 1752, March 24th 1700 was followed by March 25th 1701.

    How very odd.

    I never knew that.

    Knew about the 11 stolen days that made April 6th more significant than March 25th.

    So some chappie (as an example in the site above) was in gaol in January 1642 for an offence committed in October 1642.

    How unutterably peculiar.

    I've worked on projects with plans like that
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

      I thought all your project plans were like that once you had finished with them?

        Sounds like the current Anti-Terrorism laws

            No plan survives meeting the enemy.

            When it comes to project management the enemy is absolutely everyone who is not the PM.

              Never been solely in charge of a project. Not wanting to climb the ladder too quickly, or get promoted to the level of my own incompetence just yet (open goal there eek, but don't ok?). That said I am reading for the PMI PMP exam at present, which is eye opening. Going by the lofty standards of this book all project managers are grossly negligent.

                  I ain't got a clue. But I do know that insulting posters is not allowed there. Whereas in general it is complusary.
