It's going to be a long four months...

Today The Boss wanted to meet with each of us individually in order to set goals for 2008.

The Boss started off our meeting by declaring: "Unbalanced, I think it's time for you to start thinking about picking a defense date, maybe April or May."

Now in 2007, I would have been so happy to hear The Boss say that. My response? "Are you fucking kidding me?" (The Boss and I are very free in our language. It's bad, I know.)

The Boss blinked at me in confusion, so I decided to play along.

"Okay, The Boss, I think April would be great."

The Boss: Great! I agree!

U.R.: How about April 24 at 3 pm?

The Boss: Okay! Wait, did we already do this?

U.R.: Yes, The Boss, yes we did.

The Boss: Shit.



Sigh. It's going to be a long year.
