To make a long story short....

To make a long story even longer, my internal alarm clock, my gut instinct, proved correct. My boss made promises which the company never intended to keep, and my client as well as myself had to suffer the consequences. While the ultimate "act" was perpetrated by my boss, I never stood up and said anything, hoping that all would work itself out in the end. It didn't. And I feel slightly ashamed of my non-reaction. However, I did learn an invaluable lesson. One - listen to your gut instinct, most of the time it's correct. Two - be proactive in maintaining your moral code; when you feel something is not right, stand up and be counted. In the long run, you'll be better off for it. You'll also be able to sleep well at night.

Long weekend update: I spent it watching movies and playing sports - quite frankly it's a great combination of the physical and the lazy. This week is a 3-day work week which is pretty much what I believe the perfect number of work days to be. Forget 5 days of work and 2 days off. Whoever came up with that stupid model anyways?

Oh, I played a bit of online poker...I feel guilty admitting it, but it's true. I was bored and I rationalized - "I'm a sensible person, I can play for an hour or two without getting hooked again."

Enough of the serious posts. I feel like ranting...later!
