Re: “A less than really sharp manager agreed,”
I've retired partly because after having to deal with "Less than Sharp Managers" for far too long I figured that I needed a bit of a rest. The complaint's always the same -- these people conspire with customers to set up situations where you're trying to do too much with too few resources in much too little time. If they were technical experts or at least paid you the courtesy of asking up front, fine, but invariably they're not. So I figure I'll let them handle the details -- or, more likely, let natural selection do its thing.
