comic dialog: Panel 1
Mysterio the wizard: I see war, plague and famine. A great many of the old structures shall burn, causing chaos and mass panic. Interruptions shall leap out of the murky shadows and overwhelm... and.. er.. um... right.. the project. The project shall take about three months, assuming the previous predictions don't occur.
Mastermind McGee: Excellent. Three months it is.
Yay projects Gary
Sometimes I really don't know how to estimate project time. I see all the pitfalls, I see all the things that will destroy the deadline, and I tell people about them. Unfortunately the feedback is normally just, "don't let those things happen." In my mind, that's not really an answer. Things do seem to sometimes work out. Normally I just find the looking at the world through rosey glasses as amuzing, sometimes annoying, but normally just amuzing.
