(no subject)

And so, around slide 4 or 5 of my starred paper proposal presentation today I learned that, incidentally, starred papers are now obsolete. I will need to do a capstone project instead.

The good news is that if I give them a new proposal in the next couple of days and date it for today, they'll sign it and still consider me able to graduate in May.

The bad news is that I have to think up a project that I can actually do and write up a brand new proposal paper in the next couple of days.

I never did get to finish my presentation.

I love my job

Wow.

I can't tell you how nice it is, and SHOCKING, to finally have a boss that treats me like an adult. (no offense to Lars)

Honestly.

So, with the ultimate fail that was my proposal today, I have ended the day on good notes.

Tim has the night off and greeted me at the garage door with a big hug and kiss. He's also feeling much better than he has the last few days.

And, I got the idea of possibly doing a Scrum sprint at work for my capstone project. I thought - it's a new customer and two new programmers (myself and a coworker) and then my boss all programming. Why not try this for one round? And my boss listened to me. And nodded his head. And added suggestions that we should try it and then have a review meeting at the end to see if there are better ways to do it.

This is new territory for me. In the past, it is usually a lot of hemming and hawing, if any consideration has been given to it at all, that ends in a total brush off. But not this time.

Luckily he will be in Singapore next week so I will have time to type up some rules for this Scrum sprint and research a bit and then we can hopefully run with it when we get back.
