Play Now

I worry about my job security at this place. After all, I am a contractor. You know what though? It would be tough for them to find someone with so little time left before the deadline. I've basically locked myself in, just like Costanza. I guess it was when he was working at Play Now. I only vaguely remember that episode, but my friend mentioned it to me.

The job is challenging, but staring at a document that was created so many years ago as a collaboration with many people smarter than myself with the idea that I can parse out relevant sections, edit them, and tailor it to my project is going to make my head explode. I've been staring at the document and rewriting parts and decided that there's no easy way to do it. I started on one aspect, sent it off to the experts, and got a bunch of redlines through it. He basically said that it's not feasible and that I was probably going about it all wrong.

Lo and behold, there's an initiative to rewrite the thing and make it more user friendly. Good thing I didn't delete it.
