"How else to maintain my reputation as a miracle worker?"

[sergebroom]

It's probably my imagination, but, when last night's Oscars celebrated those who'd passed away, the applause seemed stronger when James Doohan came up.

Meanwhile, yours truly, nowhere near to being a miracle worker like Scottie, got his yearly review this morning. It was good overall, in spite of the Project from Hell. I did get dinged for some of the language I had used out of the intense frustration caused by the Project. Still, there is supposed to be a raise and a bonus, but my manager won't know how many qwatloos that entails.

You're f'ing kidding, you got dinged for a little (perhaps not all that inappropriate given the circumstances) coarse language? That bullsh...

It WAS unprofessional language,although no 4-letter words of the impolite kind were used. It could have been worse. They could have caned me for the Project's final delivery being 6 months late.

Well, if they'd let you put in the warp and impulse engines, and the matter transmitter from the beginning things would be different.

It could have been worse. How? Well, they could have made it a reguirement to integrate the Holodeck's buggy software into the bloody thing. Anyway. The Project IS over, and my manager has hired somebody else who'll deal with it from now on.

Oh dear. Not the Holodeck! I'm glad for you that it's over.

See, if you directed that language toward the code rather than the marketing people...

Or go in the washroom and utter those foul invectives, provided nobody else is around.
