I'm hoping for crazy too.
I wonder if you can catch it life online?
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Do they stream it? I still haven't tried to figure out the streaming.
I tried to be good this morning. I hit snooze too much, but still convinced myself to get up and work out in the hotel gym...but there were four people on the four machines, who'd all been there 30 minutes. And I waited around and did a few situps...and they kept going. When I left they'd all done 45 minutes and showed no sign of stopping. Rude.

NBC is streaming events live but I couldn't tell if they were doing that for the opening ceremonies.

Do you need cable to access the streaming? Like the rest of the events?
Paging Cass! Do you have your new address yet? Can you send it to me at msgullo at me dot com?

I wouldn't be surprised if they're online streaming somewhere...
There's several links here, but I doubt they are legit streaming sites. [link]

I hope they're as crazy as promised.
I heard yesterday that there are sheep involved.

There isn't enough coffee in the world today, so I'm taking a certain vicious satisfaction in playing Ceiling Cat this morning.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
playing Ceiling Cat this morning.
Are you watching someone masturbate?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So, I'm back in freakout mode. The developers are being evasive and passive aggressive, and we're coming down to the wire. It's *stunning* examples of adult behaviour. Of "well, I didn't know, then maybe I shouldn't have worked on my stuff, then..." and "I'm sure she did it before she left..." "I never touched it...why should I have....he volunteered to do it..." "it's all wrong and I'm being yelled at..."
It's three developers whining, with three different levels of justification, and I'm having to play den mother, and it's really not cute. I wish I had any idea how anyone else would handle this. I cannot imagine my peers in this situation. I'm sure they'd have done something different way back when and not ended up here, where people are not doing their tasks and trying to run off home without meeting your eyes, like the same clock isn't ticking down to the same deadline for all of us.
I may have to ask the other business analyst. I'm senior to him, but he's been at the company longer, so maybe there's specific here culture that I'm missing that I can apply.

Can you get them all in the same room, ita, and ask everybody to go over the deliverables and the timeline?
