The daily strip through Thursday was PHB interupting Dilbert about his project that took him a few days to set up a programming environment and more time dealing with technical debt. Then there was the flow problem when adding a project and the zone interruption.

Feng shui — which literally translates to "wind and water" — is the ancient Chinese art of placement. The goal is to enhance the flow of chi (life force or spiritual energy), and to create harmonious environments that ...

Remodelling my bathroom will take at least three days. I told my wife and she says, where do you get that number? I say, taking out sink and toilet is one step. Cutting out wall is another step. Removing floor tile is a step. Replacing floor tile is another step. replacing the wall and tiling is another step. Returning the toilet and sink is final step.
I say it will take 3 days.
I am not a quick worker. I just know it will take me time to do the steps, and 3 days is a conservative time frame.
