I'm just trying to get my mind off the tension of meeting deadlines at the risk of overdoing it... for now I'm pretty much disregarding whatever ridiculous deadline the boss is throwing at me and just going to work at my maximum sustainable pace. If the job gets doen in the time, well enough if not well whats the worst that can happen - at the worst I could be out of a job - big deal the only thing I've learnt from my bosses 'planning'techniques is not to take seriously what is ridicuously impossible i.e. in this ase the screwed up deadlines. Besides I doubt that my boss could fire me at the stage at which teh project has reached - such an act would send his work delaying by atleast a few more months [if only he'd consider including those possible few more months in our project plans]. You do have a point though - over working doesn't help much either - I guess one reaches his daily limt at a certain time after which no matter how much effort one puts into work - it results in zero output. Talking to my boss is no good I've noticed for he doesn't seem to swallow any 'but' or 'not possible' for explanations. [I wonder if there actually are reasonable bosses out there to start with...:(] Loading...
