Lots of Work

“Working so hard”
“There is a lot of work to do”
“Such a big application”
“So many bugs”
 "Too much work load"
 "Not enough time"


What should it really mean to the person hearing it? – Nothing.



I have seen members take loads of work and not bat an eye and do it with ease.
I have also seen members take little work and make it look big and stress out and stress others out.
I have also seen organizations that plan and work smart.
I have seen organizations that plan to work really, really hard.

I am not here to explain the right way of doing things. Whatever floats your boat!! Lol

But, when people talk about a lot of work, it reminds me of the Woody Allen movie – Annie Hall
There is a scene in the movie with a psychiatrist. The conversation goes like this -

Alvy's psychiatrist: How often do you sleep together?
Annie's psychiatrist: Do you have sex often?
Alvy Singer: Hardly ever. Maybe three times a week.
Annie Hall: Constantly! I'd say three times a week. 


The frequency is three times a week for both, but the perception of excessive or insufficient varies between people and their wants and capacity. Especially how much, they can get away with.
