Since the last entry I made, a lot has changed. I have taken on a different responsibility concerning the project I have been on for quite some time. The project has lingered much longer than it should have. The people in charge of the project were not very good at managing the effort/the budget/the people/etc. Now the environment has changed, many of the developers have left, the leadership has completely changed, and now I am picking up the pieces left by my predecessors. All in all, it is a good thing. Finally, we will be able to plan properly for the work that is to be done. The new leadership is also putting in place a plan to transition the knowledge of the system from the contractors to the full time employees that are left. This is a good thing. We (the contractors) won't be here forever, and someone will have to take the reigns when we move on.
