Only when you think nineteen hours straight in the office is bad ...

... will you then be called to do 23 straight the next week.

I was told yesterday that the way to plan the length of a project is to take your best predicted length and double it, then raise the units. So, what you think will take five days, you double to 10 days, and then up the units from days to weeks for a grand total of ten weeks.

I'm certain that my parents had great hopes that by the time I was an adult, I would be reasonably intelligent (and refuse to get involved in such an insane project in the first place). Eighteen years then, they predicted. So let's double that to thirty-six years, and then raise the units from years to decades. So 36 decades from my date of birth, this "project" of Jennifer becoming reasonably intelligent will most likely be done.

That will be the year 2328, and quite honestly folks, I hope I'm dead.
