Sleep deprivation in all it's glory

Right so I got less than 4 hours of sleep last night. Worked until 2am and had to be at breakfast for a meeting at 6:30am. It was all to prepare for an 11am meeting today. And you know the "best" part? We didn't use a single thing I worked on after 7pm last night. Decided it was better to put all my stuff in an appendix, that we decided not to attach to avoid questions. Looking on the bright side, we will end up using it for an even bigger meeting next week, and now it's done, so that's one less thing I have to finish up before that meeting...but still...kinda sucks. Oh and this is just fantastic. I was just informed that all of the data cuts I've done confuse the client, so we're going to represent the numbers in their original formats which make no sense for our project but won't raise concerns and therefore will have to be forced to work. Which means again, my last 3 weeks are pretty much null and void. Except for scheduling. I'm now the project admin.

So, since the project wasted so much of MY time last night, I'm going to take a moment to waste some of it's time. Well, not really because I actually am waiting on my team to get back from a meeting to discuss next steps and deliverables expected of me. So it's kind of like that commercial, when the CEO guy says "It's my way of stickin' it to the man" and the dude says "aren't YOU the man?" right.

I think I owe credit to Rach for this one, but I got it from Charli..reply with your response or post it on your own!
