A plaintive plea...

The group as a whole met its goal early this week, so we're not really being encouraged by management to stay late, but my team hasn't met its team goal, which means that if we all leave, K the PGM won't get to have M the dev take a week off and write his pet feature.

Earlier this week K went around offering to bribe the devs to work extra hard and make sure we got enough ahead of the game to let the feature get in, but really... I wasn't sure what I'd even ask for, that would be within the bounds of reason and (more restrictively) within his power to give. He's not anywhere in the chain of command to give us money or comp time, for example, and the people who are would just as soon not do the feature.

So, should I stay or should I go?

I'll probably stay at least for a while. Until I start *seriously* jonesing for Disgaea, which has been eating up all free time for the past week or so.

Note to Self

Do not sing passwords aloud as you type them in. Even if you used creative spelling.

Also: Just because one of the double doors to the stairway near the mailboxes has a sign with big block letters reading 'Use This Door', you don't *have* to take that staircase every time you walk past. Especially if you aren't going upstairs.
