Those ARE some grumpy bunnies!
Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I once overheard two girls who looked to be about 10 talking about Dippin' Dots. One said, "They say this is the ice cream of the future." The other said, "I hope not."
HA! I like the sound of that kid.
It is *still* snowing! It's been snowing on and off since Sunday morning now, and there's still no accumulation.
I know! It's like it's stuck and can't quite dump a ton of snow but can't quite stop.
GO HOME, WINTER. YOU'RE DRUNK.
Sleep last night was maybe an hour. Work is eatting me from the bottom up. I kept having waking dreams of MS Project. And I have an ob/gyn appt this morning about Mirena again. Bleh. Don't wanna go but I have to do a consult before they will actually do it.
For some reason IT is fighting back hard on providing templates for documents and communication. We're being tasked to make sure all the information is in said body, and I just don't get what's the downside to a template, or at least a checklist. If "past examples" are such great guidance, why not strip the variables out of one such Platonic ideal so that it's easier for us to tell what "all the information" is?
The first shop I worked in that took PM and SDLC seriously had three basic definitions of projects, and each type of project required different documents at each gate (and if you didn't intend to create a document, you needed a project exec to sign off on that call), and each document had a template. It was really easy to skim and make sure at a cursory level you're even ready to sit down and inspect, or find out who you need to send back to the kitchen. If you have to read all of everything to know that, some omissions are going to be discovered later, natch.
Tweet from SCOTUSblog:
SCOTUSblog @SCOTUSblog 2m Breaking: key vote Kennedy VERY uncomfortable striking down #prop8. Suggests dismissing case. Would leave in place 9th Cir pro-#ssm ruling.
pro-#ssm ruling
? Translation?
pro-same-sex-marriage ruling (i.e.--the current lower court opinion is that Prop 8 should be struck down)
So, if SCOTUS dismissed the case, the lower-court opinion (that strikes down Prop. 8) would stand? Or would it have to be re-tried in a lower court?
