Day was better. Went fairly quick.
Taking the Monday off for the long weekend. Some people are taking Friday as well... If I didn't have a project kicking off that day I'd do the same.
Kicking off a project on a Friday is a bad idea unless they're expecting everyone to think about it all weekend and not be in wind down mode that day, it's even worse to do it this specific weekend with a significant number of people having a 4-5 day weekend. The stakeholders are going to need a refresh on Wednesday, so might as well kick it off Wednesday.
Client insists. They've threatened to find another supplier if we don't do it.
I know it's going to fail miserably. I'm looking forward to the shit fest.
A little humility would do this client some good.
