A "constructive" and "productive" day

[Job]
The morning started with a constructive meeting. We cried foul about the lack of resources while boss took the role of the bad guy by defending the bad guys. He went further by asking why we can't solve the production issues during working hours and work on our programming requirements after our users have gone home. Nobody gave an answer to this.
After the meeting, we broke into a race for the hotly contested IDs and PCs. I got there first despite my ankle, probably because no one bothered to run. I did some good work finally with full access to an ID, a workstation, a phone and an email account. Wohoo!
Nuts...
I was in a relatively good mood and return to my personal PC to catch up on my programming. A colleague asked me about syntax, another asked me about SAP and I was caught being a busybody when Mdm Foo came into the room. Mdm Foo was one of our key users and she understands the flow of this project like a blood cell knows the body. Somehow, our company struck an undeserving windfall of fortune by pulling her over as an IT consultant. As if disciplining a misbehaving puppy, she called me out of the room for having multiple outstanding issues. Meekly, I followed her back to the production room. In no time, the list was cleared. If left to me alone, I might not have finished it by week's end.

Things look set to get worse for this project but just for today, things look a shade brighter.
