Catch skeeters instead, they're the size of small birds.

Project manager:
This UAT data will all go in by the end of the day.
Me:
I think we need to be cautious with our expectations as we have hit a lot of errors so far when importing data.
Project manager:
You are such a pessimist.
Reality:
The environment was completely screwed up by the someone's last minute changes to the configuration files - which they had not factored into the data files.
The import was even more of a screw up than I had hinted at.
End of first day and 1/20th of the data is in the system.
After witnessing all of this the IT director told me that I am a pessimist.

I once thought I was a pessimist... but, as usual, I was wrong.

Pessimist (n). What an optimist calls a realist.

The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised.

That's the optimistic way of looking at it.

But are you a pessimist enough?
|
|
|
|

Project Managers are way too optimistic.

I have worked with some really good project managers. The best project manager I worked with would multiply my time estimate by three and she was generally correct in her time estimation.
Currently I work with project managers who divide my time estimate by three...
