Yeah, I sort of slipped up on step 4 ("credit" and "blame" not being the 
same thing, yeah?) thinking that the "Success" of a satisfactory, 
on-time, on-budget, responsible, smooth completion of the project with 
all our customers extremely pleased with our company's (and specifically 
my) involvement and performance was all that was required. Apparently 
executive management considered other factors I hadn't. Hmm.

I use the term "retired" somewhat loosely, as you know. The word that 
might be more appropriate rhymes with its second half though  ;) .

I'm not bitter! Okay, maybe a little. :D

Still I think a headstone that says "Satisfactory IT Project Manager" is 
a lot less "satisfactory" than one that says "He did nothing with his life".

Cheers,
