After-Action Report
Wellnow! (Why hasn't that become a real compound word by now? "Bling" is in the dictionary as a word; why can't "wellnow be accepted as an official substitute for "Something important or significant having passed, following ar the result or follow-on actions...?"

Those who have read along know I had a major presentation yesterday. I had joked about having a job afterward, but even if that had been the case, I'd be safe. The presentation was a success! Upstream data flowed correctly into my app and was exported correctly for downstream consumption. Project over!

...Right...?

WRONG!

Someone replied to yesterday's blog and mentioned "scope creep," a project plague with which I am familiar. This wasn't a case of creep so much as fine-tuning dials I thought were already fine-tuned. After the presentation of what was supposed to be a finished product, I walked away with a punch list of about 20 items. Oy!

But don't misunderstand me; I love this stuff—way more than I like the admin element of my management position. Reports, time cards, meetings about meetings, etc... I'd rather play around with my programming stuff any day.

So yeah; I just wanted to follow up yesterday's little rant, which was meant to be a little more lighthearted than it sounded, perhaps.

So far, mission accomplished! More to come soon, if there's anything interesting to share.

Thanks for your interest and support, everyone!
