There is something inherently depressing about starting your last week at a job, no matter how much you've been aching to leave and go find a project somewhere else that doesn't quite have the same stink of doomed about it.
Yeah, I think its doomed. I haven't said much about that here on my blog while I've been working there, as I didn't want to say or do anything that could potentially make a bad situation worse, but there doesn't seem to be as much reason to hold back now. Now, as in most projects, there is a kernel of a good idea and some potential good that can come out of this project, but seriously at this point, if they ditched about 4 levels of managers and hired a systems architect and a refactoring guru, I think they'd still miss their ship date by a good 6 months, but they'd actually have something to show for it in the end.
Ah, well, gotta get ready to work -- the Titanic needs to have its decks all shiny and clean for its date with the iceberg.
