people are dropping out of our camp. actually, all but two ‘drop outs’ are people who were big maybe’s anyhow and were coming from canada. i can’t say i’m too unhappy about less people to support who can’t help with building.
one of the more sure dropouts was someone who suggested a lot of things for us here in sf to build, but sorry, she couldn’t do any of it cause she was in canada and by the way didn’t plan on participating a whole heck of a lot once we were there. er? she ended up in a much bigger camp which had more cool things to look at and hang out at and seems a much better fit for her overall.
now sp guy is probably backing out, too. the problem at work isn’t getting solved as quickly as he would like, even though he spends almost all his time on it. i’m irked at that guy who didn’t do what he said he was doing and now i don’t get to go to dinner with my guy very often, or movies, or burning man, or even burning man shopping! i just get to go down to his place and use his garage and see him come out for snacks and be stressed and that’s pretty much that. sure, sp guy can get overly pissy sounding sometimes; i’ve heard him on the phone and it’s not fun. but i think spending a year and a half on a project means you should have some usable code. and when it’s discovered for the second time in two months that what you’ve been doing is completely unsuable, and someone has to stay up till four in the morning the night before a conference fixing your work so you have a usable demo, then sneaking in to the office when no one is around and taking your things and resigning in email instead of face-to-face is the chicken’s way of dealing with it.
i’m so mad at this guy! because he was selfish my new relationship is harder than it has to be and my burning man plans are having to change last minute. let this be a lesson to you (and to me). if you don’t know what you’re doing at work… tell someone sooner rather than later, before things get all fucked up and you waste everyone’s time.
