I was wondering why not much was happening with Cali-boy and Ratso's parts of the Hamster project. Ratso got stuck with writing an extra software application to reformat the Hamster data, so I expected that he'd be behind. Cali-boy had kind of a not very fun analog thing to do, which I expected he'd get over with so he could work on the fun digital stuff. This did not happen.
Last week I took a closer look at our countdown and it came to my attention that we have to turn in a draft of our final report by 20 April. This means that we have to have something to report on before then. I made up a to-do list for us and set some deadlines.
"This Friday," I told Cali-boy over the weekend.
He had his circuit working on Tuesday.
Gah! Humans!
Why didn't I lay down the law weeks ago? Although he might not have listened then. Right now I have the weight of doom to back me up.
