30 minutes? - no problem.....
Ummon:
Has anyone else noticed that something it seems should take minutes always takes hours?
bishmasterb:
Well, I've noticed somethings that should take half a second (figuring out what a thread is about for instance) take long enough that I just give up... :dunno
Donkey_Kong:
you forgot weeks, months, years & lifetimes :D
boykster:
Where I work (currently - only until the 31st of this month), day = week, week = month, and month = year.
Its amazing. I was asked how long a small mod to a project would take; my answer was a day (padded from a couple of hours). They scheduled 4 WEEKS!
:dunno
Ummon:
Well, you know, corporate.
In any case, for those who maybe didn't get it, I meant like you sit down to a project and think 'oh yeah, this'll take a half hour....' Three hours later you're not done because this didn't wanna work, or that didn't work, or this cropped up...etc, etc, etc. I've just accepted that it's likely something will be at least a factor of 10 over what I think it'll be. If I get done early, hurray.....if I don't get it done, I just go do something else. Like play some vids!
