Eyes wide shut?

I am living without my specs since past week. My last one broke into two pieces and am too lazy to get a new one that early.

So, our team had to give a demo to big bosses on the limping features. It was very nerve-racking. One night before the demo none of my 2 features were running. They simply crashed (which is not to say they wouldnt crash now ;)).

And as we had learned in college, everything completes at the last moment. I learnt only this, what else could teachers who didnt know how to shut down a PC or send their own mails teach.

I wont put more than this, reason:
Mark Jen

Other juntas demo was rock solid. And since it was technical, and nothing irrelevant happened, I am not going to describe it.

My presentation:
At demo time, the conference display was very from our laptop, and I couldnt see anything that I was typing. Luckily I had remembered exactly where where each folder is, and what number an option is :), so I gave the demo. Instead of doing OK, I cancelled :), and the feature still worked.

Sometimes, I selected the wrong file (its number was rather wrong), or a wrong feature popped up.

Hey, That's cool. So you had got the excuse for your screwed up work, and avoid getting fired. Poor Mark! but I liked the attitude of this guy, superb.

Well my work is not screwed up. Its always complicated to integrate 2 applications over some level, and when both are giants, you know what to expect.

Still my features limp and limp well. Just some crashes :(.

Oh..I finally got new specs. This time 2 sets of them -- its like DRP after the fact (very CSC)
