ShitShitShitShit

Note to self: In future, prepare a more convincing lie when the VP in charge of your group asks how it's going. "Staying the course" evidently was the wrong answer. Or maybe it was the delivery. This led to a brief discussion of how I was doing configuration management and not software development and how maybe that's not a good use of my skills. Which would be great except the group he mentioned by name as a place that could potentially use my help has a worse reputation for dysfunction than the one I'm already in. Damn my obstinate truthfulness.
