The PM should be reading the elephanting progress reports and updating whatever PM tool they are using ... or getting the team to update the tool directly - result... automated reporting.
What is the point of getting a team to produce progress reports if you're not going to actually read them?
An earlier poster has it right ... your PM is a tool (that's a derogatory term in US/UK if you weren't aware)

No, it means I've had a heck of a day, and haven't been around much.

For the last few weeks I've been fiddling with an old MFC app for a client; when they gave it to us we knew it's current incarnation dated back to the NT4 era. Based on the bulk of the code reading like C not C++ (eg structs with pNext to create linked lists as a primary data structure, char* not string); I've suspected large parts of the codebase were even older. Just before I went out for lunch I found the smoking gun, a file with large commented out blocks of calls to XSetSensitive[^] and other X-Windows GUI functions.
Sadly, whoever wrote that file appears to've cared more about code documentation than whoever ported it to MFC and the people who did other bits of maintenance on it over the years. The information in the function comment headers is woefully out of date (relevant to the commented out X code); but the only this does that comments in the MFC part are my notes on the bits I've figured out what's going on.

I haven't touched C++ in nearly a decade, and I still have nightmares about these sorts of things.

I am ready to read anyone's (short) story about your personal experience with leasing a car.
Advice, warnings, heads-up; all are welcome.
Suggestions on successful navigation are equally welcome.

If you drive a lot leasing may not be for you. Also depending on what they cover (do you or they pay for the oil changes) it may not be the most cost effective way to get a car.
I have only leased one car and ended up purchasing it because I went over the millage way too far.

I have never done it. It never made sense. I pay for gas, insurance, maintenance, repairs, I gain no equity, and am limited in the amount of miles I can put on the thing, and they charge me for damage. At the end of the term it's gone with your money, like it never happened. I have never understood the benefit to the consumer.

It's the lazy way to always have an almost new car. With the gap between what the stealership gives you to take your old car off your hands and what they turn around to sell it for; I'm not sure if leasing works out cheaper than just buying a new car and reselling it a few years later. The number of gotchas in the contracts are enough that I doubt I'd ever sign one.

Leasing is nice if you're are renting one of the current crap-cars anyways which are lemons as they roll off the assembly line.
Well, I've leased and I bought the extra miles right at the outset.
I remember the sales person saying, "Now we don't want you to waste money on this. You don't have to buy those miles, now. Now you don't have to."
Me: "I've calculated it out and I know exactly how much I drive. We'll drive our other car for trips."
3 years later at the turn in.
Car guy with wild look in his eyes:
"Let's calculate your total mileage!! Oh, yes. Yes! Yes!!!"
Me: "Okay"
Car guy: "Uh, you don't owe any extra miles." Deflated
Yep!
Make sure you know what you're signing. They hide so much crap. If they offer the extra miles, buy them early for cheap.
Good luck.

I always used to buy until an accountant told me that it makes more sense to lease. Plus you get a new car every 2-3 years. I've leased from VW, Lexus, Honda and Ford and had no problems to speak of. I am thinking about giving mine back soon and buying an older car outright simply because I walk to work so don't really need a car most of the time any more.
I believe that you can claim some of the tax back on your tax return (but not in California, of course!). Check with an accountant.
The really unpleasant part of the car leasing.buying experience is dealing with the scum bag parasites in the dealerships.
