NBC is streaming events live but I couldn't tell if they were doing that for the opening ceremonies.
Slay-er? Chosen One. She who hangs out a lot in cemeteries? You're kidding. Ask around. Look it up: Slayer comma The.

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?

Nope, Hec. Two are at the office, I'm at home, and one is in Minnesota. I've got the two on my team on the phone now (I've been on the phone on and off with the one not on my team since 7, calming him down), and am trying to get them back on track, but motherfuckers--have some shame. I hope they're having work-induced insomnia from this shit, because I sure am.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I would try that, ita !. There's probably no way to make that group comply, but there has to be some way to CYA.
