You can console yourself that no matter how bad things get, it will never be as badly run as a Government IT Project. <BR/><BR/>Or if it is, you could always hire Patricia 'If you'd just let me finish' Hewitt's PR Firm to tell the world, via your blog, about how it is an 'outstanding sucess'.

Believe me, it adds endless weeks to the schedule and countless amounts of dosh.
