Hivemind, can anyone recommend some resources - books or websites or I dunno, techniques, for making decisions collaboratively? We have a hard time finding time to even sit down and discuss things (like, possibly changing our health insurance plan, or where we will go for Christmas this year) and even when we talk about stuff, it is nearly impossible to actually decide to do something and DO it. (Note: I don't have this trouble at work at all, oddly.)

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Developer 1 has been sent home to work from there because he has a cold. I'm feeling like I have a cold.
Boss is contemplating having us come into the office over the weekend. There is so much less for us to do this weekend than last go-live weekend. Also? I don't drive on Sundays. I'm not sure how to broach that.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Heh. Probably not many people will get this, but I was saying just recently (and half seriously) that someone needs to run a Six Sigma project on my family. We need some process improvement!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Witness airlines' horrifying vision for the future of air travel
Here's a harrowing image: the SkyRider design for new cheapo airplane seats. Clearly designed with cramming as many people as humanly possible onto a plane without much regard for their comfort, it's apparently being looked at by several airlines.

could use a little help here,too. Not for everything, but there are times when thing just don't get done. And i think we would be happier if we did something
