In times of trouble I find myself contacting Johnny Socko and his
flying robot.

It turns out my robot distress transmitter was a cheap toy from the
60's made of tin and a flashlight bulb.
Now I'm pulling the "oh sh@#" handle in my car. Will that do anything?

I'm sad because I've been kicking this can down the road for 30 years
and nothing has changed. Perhaps I'm kicking the wrong can?

IBB because I'm working long hours and weekends due to too much work and
not enough people to help (plus some people on vacation). However, I may
get some comp time, if I'm lucky.

That sucks. There's only one solution: slow down on your deliverables.

Still going on this project. The deadline is tomorrow and we had to
reprogram a bunch of things at the last minute and you know who got
stuck doing it. At least the main program is working correctly
finally. We'll probably be working into the weekend again. Some
places like the Death March method of project scheduling and staffing.
I hope this doesn't go on and on and on.

You need a better job. Don't let the bastards wear you down.

That's how I got into this job. Needed a better job. It seems
this entire industry has just gotten worse over the last 10 years.
Anyway, thanks. I might try to go back to the job I had 10
years ago but there's no guarantee it might not be just as bad
now. If I hang in here, maybe I can get a promotion out of this
mess or at least on a different project.

Good luck.
For me, the Japanese retirement age of 60 is looming closer with alarming

They are considering moving me to management. That might be a good
thing.

Heh. I don't mind. What I do mind is trying to do programming
while going to meetings all day. Hopefully it won't be like that.
