How do you put up with her? |
Have you read this fucking thing? There’s no way we can get all this crap in under deadline. Hell, I think some of it actually breaks physical laws in this universe.
Which leads me to my next question: what universe did you find Hailey in, and why couldn’t you have left her there?

Re: How do you put up with her? |
Hey, that’s the woman I love you’re talking about there, buddy! If I wasn’t asking myself the same question right about now, those’d be fightin’ words…But you’re right. This funkspek is for shit.
What are we going to do?

I’ve already started querying bits of it with the boss. Hopefully she’ll get involved.

Re: You’re not serious |
I don’t know what to tell you, Billy. We do have some wiggle room without penalties, and more if we’re prepared to endure penalties. I’m not sure whether Cornelius has signed off on this yet – he’s been on holidays longer than Hailey has, and I can’t reach him until he gets back. Look, just try not to stress about it too much right now, okay? I’ll call a meeting for when they both get back, and we’ll sort it out then.

As long as you don’t get the big boss involved. Nothing’s worth waking the dragon for.

Re: [4] How do you put up with her? |
Last thing on my mind. Hell, most of this stuff is probably doable, just not under deadline. That’s the first line of attack – push that damned deadline back. Neo-feudal gits will just have to wait for their precious duke.

Re: [5] How do you put up with her? |
I take it you haven’t got to the mental attributes yet. The neo-feudal gits are going to be ruled by the same oligarchy that placed the order with us anyway. We’re designing the perfect figurehead, nothing more.

Re: [6] How do you put up with her? |
Who cares? We need the work. I really thought we were kidding ourselves to even go for this one. Hopefully we can get some of those upgrades we’ve been begging for now.

Alright.
I’m going to keep going through it, but I’ll sit on my concerns about the funkspek for now.

Re: [7] How do you put up with her? |
Oh, I didn’t mean that, I just meant that they’ll probably be fairly tolerant of delays, so long as they can blame them on us.
You’re right about the money, too. New upgrades and maybe a few new people too. This is going to be a massive workload increase.

Re: [8] How do you put up with her? |
Hadn’t even thought of that. You want to work that angle while I push for the deadline rollback? That way we’ll probably get at least one of them.

Re: [3] You’re not serious |
Thanks Billy. Save your best stuff for the meeting – minor quibbles I can probably sort out, but you’ll only get one chance to sell Cornelius on this.
