    The project manager is on holiday...

    So since Friday (the first day of holiday), I've had two applications packaged and deployed, spoke to a 3rd vendor, cut through the crap and tested an upgrade successfully and amended the requirement spec for this.

    Had a nice chat with the DBA and got him to push forward with another piece of work. Created another 2 specs for designs, walked them round the sign off stakeholders and had them approved.

    Basically cleared a months backlog that existed because the PM was too busy.

    Another 2 days of productivity before it's back to normal, I might take a half day before I have to start banging my head of a brick wall again

          I'm impressed!

          You're almost as good as Suity and twice as good as MF!

          You'll be after my job next!

              Glad you've been paying attention.

              You'd better have my desk nice and clean for when I get back on Friday.

                LOL - I wouldn't take a PM role, don't think my straight talking style would go down too well.
