When Did I Become Dilbert?

I think I need to start wearing a tie that curls up to work. I'm working on one project where we're essentially just renaming existing processing. Doing the same thing we do now. But we have to have discussions, meetings, and documentation to explain to certain managers why doing the same things means we'll do the same thing, why changing nothing will change nothing.

For another project, we have no changes to our user interface application. We have a specialist design team who designs all our user interfaces. So for this project we have to have discussions, meetings, and documentation to justify to our managers and users that we do not need user interface designers to design no changes to our user interface.

And both projects are under scrutiny, from many of the same people, for how much they cost.

My attitude toward work lately is summed up by this 80's classic. BANG YOUR HEAD!
