The Hellish report


I have to write a report this afternoon - actually its a plan on how I propose to run the next leg of my Project for my Director but I dont want to do it. I've had WEEKS to do it and now she's back from holiday on Monday and I have a meeting with her to present the plan - including how I'm gonna oversee her management team to make sure they deliver (which is the big picture stuff) but also put all the little detaily crap in it too incase she wants to micromanage for a few moments...

I need words of encouragement or a crafty way to get out of it... I'm not picky.

if you use prince 2 methodology download the free project in a box software:

http://www.projectinabox.org.uk/personalproducts.asp

and fill in the templates then spend time showing your boss how if you used the mutli user version how much easier managing the deliverals would be!

- Just a thought

Not a bad idea - she is a technophobe so it might just make her tune out and I can just sit there saying "La la la" until she gets bored and wanders off in search of some cheese...

Or you could just take some cheese in with you and as soon as she looks like she's about to ask you something tricky, toss it out of the window and watch her follow it down!

That's the winning idea - it turns out I cant write it because I dont have some key MI but that is kinda my fault for not asking for it - I've asked for it today - so I'm gonna pretend the source of the MI are being slow... bet I dont get away with that!

Tell them you're getting it from Group Ops. That'll do it!
