My friends and I have filmed a second scene for the Star Wars: Uncut project! Here is Star Wars: Uncut - Scene 307.

If you missed our first scene, you can see it here.

I asked a guy to review the reports, and he agreed. Then yesterday afternoon he said he had some more urgent things to do on Tuesday and Wednesday, and would get to my reports on Thursday, and hopefully have them returned to me by Friday. Fine, I think, That gives me Monday and most of Tuesday to go through the reviews and make any necessary changes.

This morning I get to work and find an email saying that I need to get my stuff completed by Thursday afternoon, so corporate services can have three days to do whatever they need to do to it all (i.e. burning it to a CD) before sending it to Japan on Tuesday!

So I spent time this morning running around trying to find someone else who can review my stuff more urgently - and of course everyone in the company is in a similar end-of-year mad dash to get stuff completed by imminent deadlines. And then the rest of the day documenting all the code I've written all year - which I'd planned to spend the entire rest of this week documenting, but now I can't because I have to spend tomorrow making changes based on document reviews in order to get them completed by Thursday!

Yaaaaagggghhhhh!!!

A few years ago, Mexican food became somewhat popular here in Australia. You could buy all the ingredients in the supermarkets, including packets of corn tortillas, which we used to make enchiladas.

Then a while ago, our supermarket stopped stocking the corn tortillas. There are still heaps of flour tortillas available, but no corn - unless you buy the boxed "enchilada kit", which includes some corn tortillas and a bunch of other pre-mixed ingredients. But we like to make our own fillings, so we don't want the kit box.

For a while we could still get corn tortillas from other supermarkets, when we went on shopping trips further afield. But no longer! Now it seems every supermarket in Sydney stocks a rack full of flour tortillas, but no corn tortillas anywhere!

Why???!??!!
