Traitor

The secrecy with which the initial investigations into the feasibility of project Condor was conducted has had an unwanted side-effect. Now that we are, of necessity, getting more people involved to get the project formally incepted, we are spending more time re-hashing the same old assumptions, conclusions and ideas as we did a couple of months ago.

Today, for instance, we spent about four and a half hours bringing just four people up to date with the high-level design we had arrived at via 6 weeks of discussion and investigation. Oh well. Whatever gets us to the start line, I suppose.

On a different note, my good friend R, the architect behind the initial idea, the guy who initiated the feasibility study (although I had to expand the scope) in the first place, the guy who has so supported me through the whole exercise, has resigned. Yep, he handed in his notice on Friday. Considering his strategic role in the company, he may just be asked to leave sooner rather than later, too. Leaving me to run with it alone. More or less.

I feel betrayed.

But I wish him all the best in his new venture.
