Quote: I'm not sure Vinnie is ruthless enough for the role.I gather he's not ruthless enough for his family either. I'd be curious to know what *his* goals are, since I don't blame him for not really striving for the ruthless positions. Then again, I'm not Liu Xi's dad, so I don't really have any reason to grill him on it either. Quote: I think Vinnie's most fun and most heroic when he's struggling; a bit like Vizh. I have noticed some resemblance. Somehow, Vizh was happily married at Vinnie's age, so he didn't have the dating problems then. However, Vinnie's much more confident in his abilities then Vizh. They both could stand to have better luck. Quote: I don't think Cody and Stassia are serious. It was just a fling. And you've not missed any arcane continuity references re Kara. Sometimes an illegal fighting robot is only and illegal fighting robot.It just makes me happy that my kids aren't dating yet. Although Kerry is enough to worry about for a good generation. Quote: So I decided the best thing to do was to crunch all three problems together and let them solve ech other. I let the funder (a government agency) convince me to shift some of their corporate underspend (to help them out, you understand) to enhance early project delivery. That gives me around £75k extra to play with and solves the cost overrun. It does mean I'll need to spend more time on it, so I'm farming out some architectural, quantity surveying, and legal work to the consultants - on their budget. That'll free up around £30k of my admin budget to pay people I like - and me - rather more to deal with the extra work of having consultants around. I get to be the nice guy who helped out the funder, the team player who welcomed in the potentially-rival consultants and found a home for them, and my project is back on cost and time schedule.Then I had lunch. But the Hooded Hood is still a fictional persona, correct? Congrats on bending the situation to your will! I hope lunch was satisfactory as well. | |||||||
