It's over!!
My boss went to a meeting Tuesday afternoon to offer our clients one of four options: 1) Stop entirely, deliver nothing 2) Stop, but handover everything we've done 3) Continue with original scope 4) Continue with all the new stuff as well. We had a midwife appointment on Tuesday afternoon so I left work early. When I got in yesterday (Wednesday) morning, I had email from my boss informing us that our client had decided to go with one of the first two options so all us developers could basically go back to head office. Guess where I am now!
Anyway I'm now on the "bench", and I'm told this means that I come to work and surf the web until I'm needed on another project. I'm given to understand you generally don't have to wait long, but who knows? In the meantime I can update my livejournal, play web sudoku, maybe work on some two bit reviews (!!!) and (okay, there's an actual priority here) update my company profile. It's basically a CV, but you don't have to put references on it. "Don't be backward in saying how good you are...." apparently. Are they asking me to *gasp* EMBROIDER the TRUTH? I'm having trouble being enthusiastic about it.
Bunyip: "Bunyip is supporting a baby soon. If you give him money he will look awful busy."
Thorn: if any inspectors come to look at him they will be pleased!
Bunyip: ok i will take negative personality traits and make them sound like good things
Bunyip: bullshit artist: "creative"
Bunyip: lazy: "pragmatic"
Thorn: ok uh uh
Thorn: fat
Bunyip: woah
Bunyip: uh
Bunyip: generous?
Thorn: failure!
Bunyip: realist!
Thorn: idiot.
Bunyip: haha, "sincere"
Thorn: man! you're hired!
