i had some sort of dream last night where i had a job that required i use microsoft project. i don't remember anything else about the dream, but it must have been horrible. i've never had a pleasurable experience where project has been involved. that is somewhat frustrating, since it is the sort of tool that i can imagine being useful, but i just haven't ever seen it be so in practice. (maybe because every project i've worked on has worked backwards from completion dates, and never really had a locked-down design.)
