Curse you, Pips!→[More:]The project has been put on hold because someone forgot to work up a Project plan. There are also suggestions that we didn't even need to do this work.
OK, so we know you don't work for the Bush administration.
Seriously yo, count yourself lucky. If Dumbco was the bush administration you'd be doing about 90 MPH in an unarmored Humvee straight towards Fallujah right now.
I would hope that through my due diligence and profound lack of physical fitness, I'd at least be working a desk job near the front. In fact in a more serious nature, if I lived in a state like Israel where you're compelled to a period of service, I'd do my time gratefully and hope that like another friend of mine who'd been in the Gulf, I never had to kill anyone.
(Sorry 'bout your project actually. Maybe somethin' better'll come up. You can put my name in the hoodoo jar and tuck it in the freezer if it makes ya feel better...)
