Oh pretty please indulge us with your tall tales of all the violence you've seen from the left since Nov of 2023.

We can do it team! Just a few more weeks left!

If you liked Left 4 Dead but were let down by Back 4 Blood this is scratches that itch pretty well. The combat is more melee focus than L4D but it feels really good once you get the attack, dodge, block and shove mechanics down.

you’d have to pull the teeth first.

You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do ya?

I just want to sit next to my cat, paint minis, and watch Stargate.

Hell yeah, that sounds like an excellent way to spend the day!

I totally understand. I have been in similar situations as well. That is good that they are willing to give you whatever resources you need to get the job done. Unfortunately it also seems like you are the what we call the "single point of failure" as well, which means all the project knowledge is in your head. So with out you the project is pretty much just dead. That is a good spot to be in for job security but a terrible place to be for work/life balance.

My suggestion would be to escalate the project delivery date as a risk every single meeting and in every communication that you send on the subject. Also escalate that you are the single point of failure and that situation needs to be remedy ASAP. That way you are covering your rear end if the dates slip and the deliverables are not ready or not as expected.

I'd recommend telling the project manager exactly that. Ask him to schedule working sessions with you to start getting the project plan started. That way you can answer any questions they have during the meeting, and if not you two can note that as an action item for one of you to figure out. That first plan doesn't have to be perfect just a draft that's good enough to start seeing general resources needs and timeframes for those resources.

Your project manager is your friend as long as you are honest and upfront about what you require to accomplish your job.

I'd do it all over in a heartbeat but it would be nice if it wasn't so damn expensive. Compared to the literal millions of dollars all my kid's surgeries, hospital stays, home nursing, medical supplies, prescriptions, and equipment costs it's a small price to pay. So I guess I should consider myself lucky.

If you feel your calf cramping up you should sit up in bed, straighten the troublesome leg, then grab your toes. I think it's called the seated toe touch.

Not even close to socialism or affordable. Currently paying $2400 a month on an ACA plan because my employer's benefits don't cover the services my disabled child requires.

Unfortunately no one hates women more than other women.

I can't think of a recent movie that is more polarizing than Skinamrink. I felt it was just ok. Like it get what it was going for and I appreciate the atmosphere it creates, but at the same time it was way too long. The short it is based on is better and the film probably would have been more widely received if it cut half of the dark hallway scenes where nothing happened.
